They also diagnose and repair cooling, steering, suspension, charging and starting systems.
Learners develop safe working practices and environmental awareness when developing solutions to planning and managing automotive vehicle systems.

Benefits for Apprentices and Employers

Each block consists of 3 days of off-the-job training. This is supported by on-the-job visits for additional training and assessment to determine their competency.
