Is this course right for me?
The Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association’s survey found 30% of service and repair workshops are turning away customers due to staff shortages.
It also identified a record national shortage of skilled workers in the automotive industry, which is forecast to grow to more than 35,000 over the next few years.
As cars become techologically more advanced, skills will need to increase too. Future mechanics and repairers will require enhanced digital literacy, as well as technical skills to identify and resolve issues including vehicle safety technologies.
