I've always had an interest in cars, and been ok with my hands when fixing stuff, i love working on my bike etc. I think it's the style of work with mechanics that interests me, i.e you have a problem you are left to do it in your own way/time. There are a range of courses on offer at my local college working through qualifications, obviously a knowledge of cars is required and this is where these courses will help. I would love to able to work through to being a qualified MOT tester as the pay increases noticably. Cheers for the reply Anzo, as i said it's just something to concider at the moment
