Trainee Mechanic

[bikerboy]

Wonder if anyone could help me out, You see i'm looking to become trainee mechanic cause i love bikes, i don't know alot about bikes mechanically but i'm willing to learn. I have been phoning around clacton/colchester asking bike shops if they have any mechanic opportunities but none of them have, Does anyone know how i could get started?

Appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks alot
Kev.

Spanky, can you PM me too, thats what my lad Andy is trying to do too! :D :D

He has taken an NVQ in Motor vehicle mechanics this year as a starting point.

Don't they only do car mechanics at colchester institute? or is that what i will have to do to start me off?

[kasandrich]

Thats what my Son Andy (Blue ER% on rideout today) is doing he is doing a car mechanics NVQ as a first step on the ladder.
