Motor Vehicle, Transport and Logistics

Motor Vehicle (automotive) programmes provide the skills and knowledge needed to diagnose, repair, and maintain vehicles of all kinds.

These programmes cover a wide range of subjects, including engine repair, electrical systems, computer diagnostics, safety procedures, equipment, and tools used in the automotive industry.

Today’s vehicles are very sophisticated and include many computerised and electronic systems. You will gain hands-on experience in areas such as brake systems, suspension, and transmission repair. 

Skilled, well-trained technicians are much in demand. These programmes prepare you for careers in various fields, including automotive repair shops, dealerships, and other vehicle service facilities.

I chose to study mechanics at Newbury College as it offers a range of practical work to take part in. I enjoy problem solving and practical subjects and my course is ideal for that. So far my favourite part has been doing an engine rebuild, where we get given an engine and have to strip and rebuild the whole thing.
