Mechanic courses
Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2025 2:58 pm
Hi everyone!
So I’ve been looking into specialized mechanic courses and I’m seriously considering something focused on Porsche. I’ve always loved their engineering (I grew up around a 911 Turbo that my dad wouldn’t let me touch until I could name every part under the hood) — and now I’d really love to get some formal training.
Does anyone here have experience with Porsche-specific certification programs (as we may find on acuitytraining.co I think)? I’ve heard of the Porsche PTAP in the US but I’m not sure what the options are in Europe, especially something that could work for someone already working part-time in a garage.
Also curious — are these courses mainly geared toward dealership employment, or can they benefit someone wanting to work independently?
Thanks in advance if you’ve got any tips or experiences to share!
