Level 2 Certificate in Car Maintenance

Whether you want to save on your garage bills or are preparing to become a professional mechanic, this comprehensive car maintenance course will introduce you to all the key skills you need to fix a range of issues. From keeping the fuel, electrical and cooling systems in good nick to replacing the brakes and understanding dashboard warning lights, you'll understand your car inside out and earn a professional qualification at the end of it all.

Description

Car maintenance doesn't have to be difficult. Through video tutorials, reading and practical assessment, you will develop a complete comprehension of how to maintain your vehicle. Starting off with safety rules and an overview of what's waiting for you under the hood, you then get into general maintenance techniques before learning more about dashboard indicators, tires, engines and oil. Finally you begin to take a more advanced, schematic view on the cooling, fuel and electrical systems, drivetrain, brakes and how to apply your skills in a professional context.
