Motor Vehicle, Metalwork & Welding

We are among a select group of Motor Vehicle Engineering training providers in the Greater Manchester and Lancashire area.  This means we offer a rare opportunity to be trained by highly qualified staff with a wealth of knowledge and experience. As an adult learner, you will attend classes on a day release basis.

With ever changing design and technology, your training will encompass up to date in-depth knowledge of modern motor vehicle systems, repair, construction, and associated studies. The Motor Vehicle Industry is endless in its diversity ranging from garage and shop floor related positions to Technical Development Engineers. The engineering industry constantly requires new and innovative young people to develop new ideas.

If you think the Motor Vehicle industry is only for the boys, think again. There are plenty of opportunities for girls too.

The Motor Vehicle and Fabrication Department is well resourced, kitted out with industry-standard equipment – including high-spec computerised diagnostic tools.

There’ll always be demand for skilled motor vehicle experts, especially with car ownership increasing every year. By studying on one of our Motor Vehicle courses, you could be looking at a career in vehicle repair and renovation, brakes and exhaust fitting, breakdown services, commercial vehicles, fleet management, insurance assessing, MOT testing, servicing management or vehicle servicing.

Welding, sheet metal fabrication and engineering industries need well-trained people, capable of operating a broad range of welding equipment - including metal inert gas, tungsten inert gas, oxy acetylene and manual metal arc.

We offer courses at many levels. We have good success rates, and we have a range of support services to help you progress in your learning. All our Motor Vehicle, Metalwork & Welding courses are taught at our Horwich Campus. This site has a car park for students and is within easy access of motorway and rail networks for students travelling from Manchester and Lancashire.
