Our Motor Vehicle courses and apprenticeships provide you with the opportunity to work in purpose- built industry-standard workshops, which operate as high-quality learning facilities whilst reflecting a real working environment. They contain industry- standard equipment which will enable you to develop practical skills in vehicle service and repair skills, while supporting theoretical knowledge.
Our colleges have developed strong links in local industry with employers which will support you to develop your employability skills and contacts within the industry. Undertaking an industry placement will give you the opportunity to develop the knowledge required to progress in your chosen field and gain first-hand experience of a working garage.
