This thread is quite quiet.

Am I the only one observing that it is quite quiet.

Hmmmmm

I think you have to decide which country's automotive technology standards you want to be certified in.

Two readily come to mind.

If its the USA, then think ASE and go to this website, it will answer most of your questions http://www.ase.com/

With the ASE, you have tons of e-learning opportunities. Don't know that much about the UK equivalent!

If its the UK, then think NVQ in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair.

There is at least one or two UK trained automotive technology masters on this forum, maybe you should shoot either of them a PM to see if they could help.

For the UK qualifications, I really don't know as much as I know about the US equivalents, but I did find this website http://www.cityandguilds.com/Career-Ideas/How-To-Become-A/A/Automotive-Mechanic as well as this http://www.automotivett.org/ and I hope they help you.

Finally, you will need to spend time in a workshop to bridge the gap between theory and practice. A year or two will make a world of difference even if you have been certified!!
