Automotive technician has hard and simple courses.. depends on how advance you want to become... for example,, just electricity diagnostics, or engine problems, to advance interior engines... it really depends if u like automotive yourself,, (really important) because if you have interest in cars, then the course will become easier to learn because it does not become a task no more,, it becomes your hobby.. .

to be a engineer u will want a 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days college to get a bachelor degree and as quickly as u graduate u could be employed, relies upon on your grades and activity reviews (like internship at a engineering business company) and with a bachelor degree you will start up off as a junior engineer which make 50, 000 a three hundred and sixty 5 days extra or much less. relies upon on your skills. the pro is that u would be creating lots better than a time-honored vehicle technician 38,000 however the con is can u attempt the college and could u have the means to maintain a competent grades. to be a vehicle technician you are able to take college classes which may be like a 2 3 hundred and sixty 5 days software and graduate with a associate degree and artwork is shops or u can take classes in colleges like: Wyo-Tech, or widely used Technical Institute. they're strictly vehicle technician education college no English or math training this is mandatory for an associate degree. in UTI there are some classes for diesel, NASCAR, bike, vehicle, collision fix, and producer. each and each software has diverse length sort 10 weeks to eighty one weeks i might advise u to take the fifty one weeks motor vehicle software and then get a producer education for what ever the producer you opt to artwork for (Audi, BMW, jaguar, international ITEP, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen, and Volvo) after the education u could have the means to artwork in a broking or u can get extra training and go up larger. the pro for an vehicle technician is you would be grantee to have a activity spend much less time on training and start up working genuine after commencement the con is you receives a commission much less For the two jobs' destiny outlook is extraordinarily sturdy because of the fact they're continually wanting persons. its in basic terms relies upon on which one do u decide to do the main as a profession

Automotive Technician is one of the most underated jobs around You're expected to know everything about any vehicle,while most customers feel you are ripping them off. Just tool investment will run into $1ooo's of dollars a year,training is constant,technogly changes with every model year. But the feeling of solving problems is worth it. If you are mechanicly inclined, it can be a very satisfying career.Few jobs offer such rewards.

Ah anyone can learn! If you like to work on cars then I'd say it'd be a good idea. I graduated out of a Tech school and it was pretty fun. Learned a lot. You'll go through different sections in automotive though. Transmissions, Steering and suspension, brakes, and more.

Sounds as if you really do not want to work. Any vocational course is as hard, or easy as you wish to make it. Being GOOD at what you do is dependant upon how much effort you put into it. I regularly go back to technical collage to keep up on current technology. A.S.E. certification demands recertification every four years, so it is best to put in the time, AND effort to be good at what you do. Remember, the customer relys upon your competence, and your future does too!

No It isn't an easy course... reguardless of where you go... if you're looking for easy in this field you've wasted both time and money... and not only yours but your instructors and other students as well...
Suggestion looking for easy go cook burgers at Jack-In the Box, Mac Donalds etc. stay until you make management (years down the road...
Being an auto tech can be both mentally and physically challenging at the same time even on a daily basis...
I went to AAI (Arizona Automotive Institute from Dec 1984 to June of 86...
There was 4 hours of class per night, plus another 4 hours of home work and I'm no slouch when it comes to automotive...
thats 8 hours a day honing the skills of my trade and improving on what I already knew...
plus I was working 8 hours a day at Larry Miller Toyota on Indian School Rd...
School Representative had told me it was impossible to pull A's & B's in their course while working 40 hours a week... I not only proved him wrong but when I returned to McCall, Idaho my home town the neighbor who lived next door to me prior to me leaving ...
Had asked the representative how I did in this school, He told her
"As far as WE at AAI are concerned Mr. Ronk is on genius level when it comes to knowledge of the automobile its theroy, doing the work etc. he was even sending the instructors to the books and places to seek out the answers to his questions."
I had a good solid foundation and understanding of automobilse before I ever went... My step dad was my mentor from time I was 11... I helped on perventative maintainance and repairson family vehicles from then till 14..
at 14 I bought a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner with 383 and 4 spd...
at same age neighbors noticed we never sent our cars to shop...
they asked my step dad how much to fix our car it needs this or that...
his reply was always Parts + 6 pack of Beer & $20.00 ...
He'd supervise my repairs, drink the 6 pack while he supervised me do the work and when done gave me the $20 for gas in my Roadrunner...
Soon my classmates noticed my car ran perfectly and started asking me for top of the head diagnoisis by them only describing sythoms of what it was doing... sounding like etc..
I'd list off possible problems and easiest way to check in a couple of days they'ld say you were right it was this one of the 3 possibles you mentioned etc.
After you gratuate if you do you will be competing with guys like me for the al-mighty dollar and guess what my prediction is you'll starve...
I came into this field because I love this kind of work... I have lived, eaten and breathed cars since I was 11 there are a lot of guys like me out there believe me...
there are also alot of AAI's graduates like you who said mechanics/technicians make good money I want to be one or dad or uncle encouraged the field... who wasted their time and money because guess what they aren't doing car work anymore..
AAI allows 21 days for completing Carburetion Requirements... guess what ... I breezed mine out in 7 days... I had carburation down cold before I even left high school...
What did I do for the remaining 14 days you ask?? I became a Student Assistant Instructor for Carburation... Asking the same kinds of questions the instructyor had asked me... on requirements I had to grade them as a pass or fail on those same # of carburetor requirements...
In chassis class at the Machines like Tire balances and Alignment machines... guys stood in line 8-12 deep... we'd just studied this same in class... I'd go to the front get their note book open to proper referencing page and step by step show them how to do it.... I'd do that 8-12 time then my turn ba at machine only a few minutes get requirement check off and go to the next machine and line and do it all again...
In heavy Diesel Chassis I wrote 2 pages that are gear speed charts for a 13 speed transmission with a 2 speed splitter box behind that.... this chart shows all 24 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds in MPH at maximum RPM a diesel engine can turn safely...
I got extra credit for it as did my diesel chassis partner (AAI requires students work in groups of 2 in shop to avoid injury when working with heavy parts...
So as hard as work?? Depends on work you do, its harder than cooking burgers, mowing lawns etc. anytime you use both the mind in a very strong and taxing way and body the same way often at the same time...
I can assure you if you go to become a technician you will discover a kind of tired you have never experienced before...
