Level 2 Apprenticeship in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair

The facilities are amazing and you can definitely learn a lot here. The course is a brilliant supplement to the things you can’t see in cars and the tutors have a wealth of knowledge. If I am ever struggling with anything at work, I can always come to college and ask them about it. It’s a great place to study.
