Motor Vehicle

The UK is a nation of car lovers and there are over 38.6 million vehicles on our roads, so it’s not surprising that the motor vehicle industry provides plenty of job opportunities.

There are many choices of career on offer, ranging from sales and customer services roles, through to technical roles such as diagnostic technician, master technician, MOT examiner, motorsport technician, paint technician or workshop supervisor.

We are a leading provider of motor vehicle courses and offer an extensive range of facilities and on-site workshops, including electronic diagnostic equipment, an MOT bay, ramps and tyre-changing facilities. This, coupled with our knowledgeable teaching staff, will enable you to get the relevant experience you need, working on real vehicles.

Student Stories

There are two incredible, spacious, full-equipped workshops to simulate a real working environment. I bought a 1989 Volkswagen Mk2 Polo Breadvan for a project and I am currently stripping and rebuilding the engine and the body work to become a show car. We receive great support from both our lecturers and learning mentors. My dream is to become a mechanic in F1 and be part of their pit crew!”

“I applied to GC to study Motor Vehicle to learn about cars and how to fix or diagnose problems with them, as it’s something I find interesting. I enjoy the help I get in lessons and being allowed to use the computers freely to do my work. Hopefully, after my course I will be able to do an apprenticeship at Toyota or Ford with the skills I have learnt. I would recommend anyone to apply to GC”

Mechanics is a thing I’ve always liked, and I’ve fixed up cars and bikes before coming to college too. I’ve enjoyed meeting new people and the lecturers are always a laugh. The extra support I get is really good too. My dream career is to be a mechanic, and the course has helped me be really ready for that. I’d like to go into race mechanics after college and the skills I’ve learnt on my course mean that I feel confident to go into the workplace afterwards to fix brakes, change motors and engines – loads!
