Jak se stát mechanikem
Motor mechanic is a recognised vocational trade in the UK and you don't need a degree - practical diagnostic and repair skill is what counts. The standard route is a 3-year apprenticeship combining FE college and garage work, leading to a Level 3 qualification (IMI/City & Guilds). Modern programmes increasingly cover hybrid and electric vehicles, and high-voltage certification is now expected by most workshops.
Bet on the EV transition: IMI high-voltage/electric-vehicle certification and software-diagnostics skills now command higher rates than combustion-only experience. Treat them as ongoing additions to your apprenticeship and Level 3 qualification.
