Motor Vehicle

There is a steady demand for trained mechanics and technicians throughout the country. Employment is usually with garages, transport companies, road haulage companies or large organisations with fleets of vehicles. At technician level you will perform skilled diagnostic work, including work on electronic and computer based systems.

The work is challenging and logical involving a lot of problem solving. In larger companies, it is usually possible to gain promotion to supervisory and management jobs. Opportunities also exist in the Armed Forces and organisations such as the RAC/AA and self-employment is also possible.
