first of all you have to have an interest in cars and have the desire to learn and want to get your hands greasy, I have played with cars for 47 yrs. and over that amount of time you can get a lot of hands on experience and I have worked at garages and been through a few schools and the past 36 yrs. I worked for GM assembly division as a line repairman on the new cars, just start by reading car magazines and articles on different repairs or go to a mechanics school and get some hands on training.

school of hard knocks- of broken down vehicles because I touched it, etc. Owned many a vehicle and did a frickin alot of reading alongside of wrenching things apart and putting it back together again. Many times have screwed up ( and then it cost me) but I remember for the next time in some other vehicle. You got to be in it all the time. You go to bed with dirty hands(cause it just doesn't come out of the pores) and you get multiple hand scars. If you are lucky you don't lose a finger. You snort up the exhaust fumes, and the excess choking smoke and all the other smells of burning rubber and plastics (from electrical fires).
Yes you can take it in "trade school" but the employer will want to know how many years you have been working in the trade.......not been in school.
Mind you, it is harder now as the manufacturers are making it harder to get in there and do the work. They are trying to make the car go forever without servicing.
My new car has no service manual anywhere. I am still looking.

Usually your local Vo Ed (Vocational Education) school offers automotive classes. Some people (myself included) have owned many used cars and must learn to fix them by ourselves. Haynes manuals for specific vehicles really help a lot. Many of the jobs (i.e. changing CV axles, tune-ups) are similar across all makes so once you do one, it is easy to do another...

get an old, basic car, some tools and the book for it (sold at the parts place). Read the book and start twisting bolts......
