FAQ
Are you a mechanic or a technician? Can I do part-time studies?
While a degree is not required, it does help. Employers are more likely to hire candidates who have completed a complete degree. This shows you have put in the work and achieved success.
But, this doesn't mean you have to stop working while studying. Some universities permit students to do coursework during summer holidays and complete their studies later in a year. Other universities permit students to take classes part-time during the school year.
Is it hard to get work as an auto mechanic?
Yes, it's possible. Many garages have vacancies that are advertised online. Many people apply because they think it will be fun. Try applying to a few jobs and seeing if the garages accept student applications. If you don't know anyone working in the industry, ask your friends and relatives. They may be happy and willing to recommend someone.

Although you won't be required to know much about cars you should have a solid understanding of the fundamentals and principles of mechanical engineering. This involves understanding how engines work and how brakes work.
It is important to realize that you must be ready for all types of situations. One example is when you could be working on a vehicle involved in a serious crash. Also, you'll need to be familiar with dealing with accidents or breakdowns.
It is important to be open to learning new skills quickly. As well as being able to diagnose problems, you'll need to be able to perform simple maintenance tasks such as tightening nuts and bolts.
