Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology

You spend your spare time tinkering with engines and are always researching the latest models of cars being released.

Harness your interest and set yourself up for a career working with light vehicles.

With our apprenticeship program, you'll learn how to service and repair the mechanical parts of motor vehicles such as engines, transmissions and suspension systems as well as how to manage electronic engines.

By the end of your training, you'll know your way around brakes, springs and gear boxes, along with having the skills to diagnose, repair and service any mechanical problems.

We'll also make sure you know how to conduct safety and roadworthy inspections to give you even more employable skills.
