Midwest Motorcycle Mechanic School, a joint effort between Windy City Motorcycle Co. and McHenry County College, launched with its inaugural class on January 10, 2022.
The school offers a 12-week class taught by Certified Master Mechanics at a state-of-the-art facility in Woodstock, Illinois. With 360 hours of instruction blending hands-on training, classroom sessions and job shadow opportunities, successful completion of the course will prepare the students to start their careers in this in-demand and growing field.
“I highly recommend this class to anyone looking towards motorcycle mechanics as a career,” said Randy, a member of the inaugural Midwest Motorcycle Mechanic School class. “Great instructors. Modern motorcycles to learn on. You’ll be turning wrenches on the second day.”
“This class is perfect for learning the ins and outs,” said Amber, another member of the class. “I learn something every day and the environment is very supportive.”
“The information I’ve learned in a few short weeks has been more beneficial than I could have ever thought possible” said Dustin, who is also taking the class. “Taking this course was the best possible decision I made for my career.”
“This has been a dream of mine for some time now,” said Doug Jackson, a 40-plus year industry veteran, Woodstock Harley-Davidson/KTM/Triumph general manager and Midwest Motorcycle Mechanic School leader. “Service is the foundation of a dealership, and to have a strong foundation, you need to have highly skilled technicians. This school provides an affordable, local option for people interested in this exciting career.”
