It is a private school. That is the school I went to.
It was 6000$ for me, but in the end I didn't pay most of it and just didn't bother getting my cards. I decided mechanics wasn't for me, I liked destroying cars more than fixing them.
In that course, ESPECIALLY the french side, all you do is goof around. you learn some things in class if you decide to shop up on time, talk and smoke for half an hour, and then fuck around in shop until they send you home early. In the english section, our teacher was a little more strict (Jim) so you learnt more, but he was ALWAYS stuck on "old school" mechanics and would curse most modern-day stuff.
Mind you, when I went, it was on Jean Talon, in a little shitty shop companied with Hertz rentals. We NEVER learnt transmissions, auto or manual. Carburators were laughed at. most of everything went into electronics (which half the time you don't need, you just plug a computer to the cars these days and there's your problems shown on a screen)
My advice: Even though the hours are amazing (I did 6 pm-10pm), its not worth what you could get for 1800 hours in a cheap course. And at least you'll get an actual diploma and help after school to find jobs with a government program opposed to a private one.
Don't do it.
