Home Mechanics Course Surery Area - Any recomendations?

[tomwoodis]

As per title really. A friend and I quite like the idea of going on a car mechanics course in our spare time (evenings/ weekends) to pick up a few more skills. Personally I do the odd bit on my own cars but would like to go that bit further. I have aspirations to one day own a caterham and potentially build one so would like to get some ground work in place upon which to build.

I work in the Guildford/ Woking area, does anyone know of anything that might be suitable?

Many thanks,

Tom

By the way, I learned how to spanner on a Caterham- really it doesn't get much easier. I know they aren't cheap so you might be worried that you could potentially be making a costly error, but there are specialists up and down the country, a noisy contingent of helpful local owners and a great owners club/forum. In three years I've gone from "maybe I should try changing the brake pads myself!?" to engine and gearbox removal and re-fitting within three hours. I've also tackled a top end rebuild on a friend's polo using the general principles and techniques I learned on the Caterham.

Does 'Nescot' college on the Reigate road offer anything?

Oh and Kingston college definitely has an automotive dept. and good lecturers(the ones I've met). Dunno if they do an evening course though.

Thanks for the info, will look into those.

have found 1 course down at East Surrey College in Reigate which is happening in May but its only a single day course and I have no idea what it covers :/

Farnborough Tech has a pretty big automotive building worth a try
