It is interesting to learn all of the advanced diagnostics for the vehicles and it helps give a broader mindset on what we are actually doing and gives you that next step going into the motor trade. The extra knowledge, such as using the syliscopes and looking at waveforms and wave diagrams, not to mention the qualification, is going to help me stand out from other job candidates.

I was on the part-time six week car maintenance course and enjoyed it so much that I decided to gain my Level 2 diploma. I think the course covers everything perfectly and I really like doing the electrics modules.

Level 3 Diploma in Light Vehicle Service and Repair
Previous school: Abraham Darby School
I chose to come to SCG because they have the best motor vehicle facilities. All of my family are in the vehicle industry and my interest grew from there. It is an amazing course and I have learnt so much. It is hard work, but once you start putting the effort in, it gets easier.
