This course will allow you to develop knowledge not only in Light Vehicle but other means of transport.

Students will be assessed in a range of ways including combined assessments and one online test that covers the mandatory units.
To successfully achieve all units in the qualification must be completed, including all assessments (practical and theory), to a satisfactory level and maximum attendance is required.
