About this course

Level 2 Motorcycle Mechanic Course in Castleford. Classes run at Castleford College, part-time during the day, one day a week over a year. This level 2 motorcycle mechanic qualification builds on Level 1 knowledge, taking you deeper into motorcycle systems and mechanical skills. Entry requires a minimum grade 3 in maths and English, plus a Level 1 automotive qualification. Relevant hands-on experience may be considered in place of the Level 1. These motorcycle mechanic classes cover all key areas of motorcycle maintenance and repair.

Who this course is for

This course is designed for students who have completed the Level 1 Diploma in Motorcycle Maintenance or have extensive prior knowledge in the field.
