About this course

Level 1 Motorcycle Mechanic Course in Maidenhead. Classes run at Berkshire College of Agriculture, full-time during the day. This is a structured introduction to the motor vehicle industry, covering the core knowledge and practical skills you need to work on motorcycles and other vehicles. The course runs for 35 weeks. To join, you'll need GCSE English and Maths at grade 1 or above, and you'll complete an interview with a mechanical aptitude assessment.

Who this course is for

This course provides an introduction to the motor vehicle industry and prepares learners to progress on to a Level 2 qualification with ABC or City and Guilds, or on to an apprenticeship.

Entry requirements

ABC Entry Requirements: Students must demonstrate a clear interest in vehicles and mechanical things. They will also be required to complete an interview which includes a mechanical aptitude assessment or already hold an Entry Level 3 Diploma in Motor Vehicle Maintenance at a Pass grade or above. Applicants must also hold GCSE English and maths qualifications at grade 1 or above.

What you will learn

  • You'll learn the fundamentals of how motorcycles and motor vehicles work.
  • You'll develop practical skills in basic vehicle maintenance and inspection.
  • You'll study health and safety practices used in the motor vehicle industry.
  • You'll gain an understanding of engine systems and mechanical components.
  • You'll practise using tools and workshop equipment correctly.
  • You'll build knowledge of electrical systems on vehicles.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom sessions and hands-on practical work in a workshop environment. Assessment is carried out through a combination of practical tasks and written work. Your progress is assessed throughout the course rather than in a single final exam.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Berkshire College of Agriculture will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Motorcycle mechanic. Service and repair motorcycles at a dealership or garage.
  • Motor vehicle technician. Maintain and diagnose faults on cars and vans.
  • Vehicle maintenance assistant. Support qualified mechanics in a workshop.
  • Apprentice mechanic. Earn while you train toward a full trade qualification.

What you could study next

This course is designed to lead you into further study or an apprenticeship. You could progress to a Level 2 qualification with ABC Awards or City and Guilds, which takes your practical and technical skills further. From there, a Level 3 NVQ in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair is the qualification that supports a career as a fully skilled mechanic. An apprenticeship is another strong route after Level 1, letting you earn while you train.
