With progression opportunities including Automotive apprenticeships, motorsport, sales or engineering, this course will provide you with a knowledge and practical skills grounding.
You will learn about motor vehicle maintenance – how to locate, identify and carry out a routine maintenance on a variety of mechanical and electrical components using test models and real vehicles in our Automotive Engineering workshop.
