Motor Vehicle Workshop

Inside The Technical Academy Campus

We offer a complete package to kickstart your career in the motor vehicle industry.

Our workshop has everything you need, from our own cars to engine rigs, clutch rigs, car lifts and specialist tools.

You'll learn about MOT testing, refrigeration systems for air conditioning units, and how to build engines from scratch in our general motor vehicle workshop.

Our 'fast-fit' area will teach you how to change tyres, wheels and service vehicles quickly.

Additionally, our electric/hybrid vehicle suite, which is part of the North East Institute of Technology, is a fantastic facility with a Nissan Leaf fully electrical vehicle rig and a Toyota hybrid vehicle rig.

You'll even have the opportunity to drive our on-site go-karts and work with motorcycles during the course as well.
