    Dominic Holt - Graduated September 2023

  • "I came into the course with little to no knowledge about the trade and within three weeks you have taught me so much. It was inspiring having someone (our tutor) as intelligent, and having a good sense of humour, with a wealth of knowledge".

    Kanwar Sandu - Graduated September 2023

  • "During my 3 months at the Auto Super Shoppe Academy, I have learnt a wide range of skills and most importantly gained a lot of new knowledge. I am very glad I took the course as it was the most beneficial action, I have taken to start my career as a mechanic".

    Sam Caulfield - Graduated September 2023

  • "(Our tutor) makes sure that every student understands what he is saying before moving on, regardless of how long it takes them to get it. It has been amazing to learn from someone so experienced and well versed in all sides of the industry".

    Alex Battle - Graduated May 2023

  • "After 12 weeks I am only more curious and keener to continue learning and excited to get to work. I didn’t want to go into my apprenticeship with little to no knowledge, I wanted to be able to understand and build on from there, now I feel I can do exactly that".

    Emma Begg - Graduated May 2023

  • "Thank you both (the tutors) for helping me, and making sure I graduated, and making me feel welcome into this type of industry making sure I realised anything is possible no matter the size or strength of you".

    Chloe Scurry

  • "This has been one of the best courses I’ve been on. This course is not like school, (it’s) entertaining. These 12 weeks have gone through so fast it’s not even funny. Honestly if I could do this course again I would".

    Antoine Jorieux - Graduated April 2022.

  • I have appreciated the fact that if I ever have any questions, you (the tutor) will always answer them for me and if you don't know the answer you will find it, not many teachers do that. If I ever needed a hand or more explanation, you would always help me. These twelve weeks have flown past so quickly and I am sad to leave but I feel better knowing more than I ever did and having a job to go straight into."
