It's never to late to stop learning

Hello guys. Me again. I'm just here to give you another strategy in which to get mechanical know how, you may need to learn the new skills. And it's never too late to stop learning. You can always go to any training school that covers pre-vocational automotive studies and that way, you'll get the chance to get your hands dirty and understand how cars work and how problems can be dealt with mechanical wise.

A while ago, I had a thought on returning back to study and do something completely different. I went to a tertiary institution called TAFE (Training and Further Education) when I did Certificate II in Multimedia, two certificates in Hospitality (Cert. II involving Front of House and Cert. III involving Kitchen operations) and Certificate IV in Screen and Media. Even though I haven't found much use for them apart from the Hospitality certificates when I used to work at a pub-style restaurant. These aside, I wanted to study Certificate II in Pre-vocational Automotive Studies and use the skills to get the idea on fixing up old cars. But the trouble is i'll be working 5 days a week starting tomorrow as of Sunday and I mightn't have a chance to get back to study.

Yes, i'll be back to work and if you're keen, the job for me is a car detailing job which after a trial could lead me to an apprenticeship. So I mightn't be able to return to study which is a bit disappointing but on the plus side, i'll be working and that's more important.

You can always go back to study just to learn new skills whether it's for better employment opportunities or just another hobby you want to take up. If you're committed, find a course you want to do and go for it. Go to any institutions and ask or get a course book for next year. Then, get the contact details of any teacher in charge of a course and let them know you're interested.

We'll take the Automotive Study course i've mentioned and expand on what's to be expected when you study this course. Here it goes.

In the course, you'll expect to study

• Safe working practices
• Using and maintaining measuring equipment
• Using and maintaining workplace tools and equipment
• Job seeking skills (mightn't be relevant unless you want to work as a mechanic)
• Carrying out industry research
• Removing and replacing an engine and transaxle assembly
• Dismantling and assembling a four stroke engine
• Removing and assembling an engine cylinder head
• Dismantling and assembling a carburettor
• Dismantling and assembling a fuel pump
• Dismantling and assembling a manual trasnmission
• Removing and replacing brake assemblies
• Removing and replacing wheel and tyre assemblies
• Removing and replacing a radiator
• Operating electrical test equipment
• Removing and refitting batteries
• Recharging batteries
• Participating in basic vehicle servicing operations

This course can be done through Federation Training in which I sourced the course from. Still interested, go ahead. Do what you please. Thanks again for your time and hopefully, i'll be back.
