City and Guilds Level 1 Certificate in Motor Vehicle Maintenance and Repair

This course is suitable for school leavers interested in working in the vehicle repair industry. It is also suitable for anyone with the aim of becoming a qualified mechanic/technician (subject to further qualifications).

Once qualified, the career options are endless. There are hundreds of garages, dealerships and maintenance depots in the area that need trained mechanics. You could run your own business, manage a garage or even specialise in modifying vehicles. If you are dreaming big, some of the top mechanics in Formula One are from the UK, so if you have ambitions of working in the fast lane, a good grounding will help you get there.
