Light vehicle mechanics learn how to repair and service engines and components in cars ensuring proper efficient engine function.

Training will include how to select and use bearings and seals and check and change oil. You will then be taught how to repair parts such as exhaust and ignition systems, clutch assemblies and hydraulic braking systems. Training will also include how to use and maintain workshop tools in a safe manner, such as soldering of electrical wiring/circuits and balancing of wheels and tyres.

Apprentices are also taught skills in how to establish a relationship with the customer, communicate effectively within the workplace and safe work practices

A Light Vehicle Mechanic is a four year apprenticeship and you will be required to complete a Certificate III Automotive Mechanical Technology (Light Vehicle) nationally recognised qualification.
