Get to know adtc

Previously known as American Diesel Training Centers, Co-Founders Tim Spurlock and Chris Ellis launched ADTC’s first class in Columbus, Ohio in July 2017 and opened our second facility in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2019. Since then, we've produced more than 3,500 entry-level diesel mechanics, who work for companies across the United States. In addition, to growing our diesel mechanics program with our prestigious partners, we have since added a collision technician program and are continuing to expand in other trade industry areas.

We are proud of the technicians that represent our program, the lives we've helped change, and the service we have provided to our employer partnerships!
