High School
To become an ATM servicer, you should take all available high school computer science classes. Knowledge of and familiarity with computer languages will give you an edge as ATMs become more complex. Also take any electronics or mechanics courses your school offers, because ATM repair requires skills in both areas. By taking English courses, you'll develop communication skills that will prepare you to deal with ATM service clients as well as supervise other technicians.
Postsecondary Training
First line technicians typically get their training on the job, but second line technicians often must have electronics experience before being hired. Most employers prefer an associate's degree in electronics, or equivalent experience, in electronics or electronic equipment repair. Manufacturers of machines also provide training, and employers may require that technicians have an understanding of specific ATMs and data networks.
Electronics technology programs are available at community colleges and vocational schools and offer courses in such subjects as electrical circuits, technical mathematics, mechanics, electrical drafting, and industrial electronics.
