Motor Mechanics

Year 10, 11 and the EEU pupils at Muntham House School have the opportunity to undertake a Motorcycle Mechanics Course in the specialist mechanics workshop. The course can be taken at Unit Award Level, and then progress to the Industry Standard IMI Accredited Course. Pupils undertake service and maintenance tasks, and these form part of the assessment.

Pupils carry out practical tasks on engines, wheels, tyres, braking systems, cooling systems and MOT testing requirements. During the course, they will disassemble and rebuild a motorcycle, learning about the components. This gives pupils an insight to working in the motor trade leading to possible careers as a mechanic or motor vehicle work.

 The Mechanics Course Aims to:

• Teach pupils to use the tools in the workshop safely.
• To help pupils engage in practical tasks and hands on learning.
• To learn life skills and opportunities for potential employment.
• To solve problems and enter into a career or potential employment in the Mechanics industry.
