What is it like to be a student on this course?
I chose this course because I wanted to learn more about cars as it is something I am interested in. I particularly like the practical side of the course and I learn something different every week. I am going to stay at Plumpton College to study Level 2 Vehicle Maintenance. For the future I would like to be a mechanic and start my career within the motor industry.
