I am thinking about completing a motor craft studies course in Brighton. Can anyone give me any advice about this, i.e. the best ways to go about this, good colleges that offer this course etc. I always hear the best way to learn is to take apart an old broken vehicle.

It would be great to hear someone who has been thinking about doing something like this. Please let me know!

Unless you're doing it just for your own benefit - don't!
This is no trade to bother getting into; it has no worthwhile future.
Talk to Ricardos personnel dept at Shoreham and see if they have any openings.
That's a good company to get into.

The skill is not taking it apart but putting it back together ;0)

Without any parts or nuts/bolts/screws left over... ;-)

I am doing this course more for myself: I would like to learn the skill well. I might even work for a garage for a while as an apprentice. I know it pays badly, but I am in a position where I don't need that much money.
Can anyone recommend the best books to learn this skills required/ theory in detail...the course will probably come up with these anyway but to know what I am expected to learn would be great.
By the way: I want to do the city and guilds course with CCB...
Thanks

Find books by VAW Hillier, and also by Heinz Heisler - these will get you a long way.

I went to the interview for the course, and they use these books. I did look at these books: very detailed, very well explained. I would recommend them to any car enthusiast...better than car mechanics....
