Our fantastic training area replicates a modern vehicle repair centre with all the lifts and equipment you would find in a commercial garage. Our knowledgeable and passionate lecturers will help you develop your skills in everything from car maintenance to hybrid vehicle fault diagnosis.

Work experience placements will allow you to refine your knowledge in a real-world setting, honing your customer and client-facing abilities and getting to grips with what it takes to succeed in the motor sector.
