I’ve always enjoyed working with cars. I enjoy learning about them and how to fix them in more detail. The course is great and is helping me to become a mechanic engineer in the army.
The IMI Motor Vehicle course was recommended to me by a friend and I have really enjoyed it. I have made some great new friends and learnt a lot. We study all aspects of both the theory and practical side of vehicle maintenance. The facilities are excellent and are like a real working garage. I am hoping to progress onto University next year.
