"I chose the collision repair program because I already had some experience in high school. I enjoyed it there and wanted to continue training and learning new skills and techniques. Making a career out of collision is unique in that it is never the same day every day. Each vehicle is unique, and the damage it sustains and that needs repair is always different. As far as highlights go, I would say the tools are pretty cool. I’ve been introduced to so many cool tools that will make the job go quicker and the repair smoother. Learning how to use a new tool is always a highlight of any training module. After graduation I will be back at OTC for a little while. I’m going to re-take a few paining classes. I have a local job here with a company called DataScan, so I’m not in a big hurry to get back home just yet."

What our graduates say

"I chose OTC for real-world training by instructors who have a wealth of knowledge and experience. In my welding class, each instructor took the time to help students with specific problems in their welding techniques and also showed us how to overcome problems in the workforce. Welding is not an easy skill to master, nor is working outside in the rain, snow and hot sun. I feel the welding course at OTC is outstanding and the fact that not one student yet has failed a welding certification is remarkable. It shows these instructors know what they are talking about; all you need to do is pay attention and learn from them. I plan on joining a strong union and becoming an in-demand welder."
