What Our Students Say

“Before I came to Leeds City College, I was in school, I was in such a bad way at school, skiving lessons all the time, teachers always on my case, getting kicked out numerous times almost. So I applied for here just hoping to get on a course, I got accepted – it was entry Level 3. Dave was my tutor and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better as a tutor, because he just helped me. He helped me with every regard, with Maths and English, workshop work, the theory side of the workshop work – telling me how everything is and showing me what’s what.”

Harrison

“I’m working really well with my tutors – they’re really supportive and we just have a laugh. It’s like a really nice atmosphere. I think the facilities are really fantastic.”

Dan

I think I’ve really enjoyed the fact that I’ve had to make new friendships, especially because I didn’t know anyone coming in – but after the first few weeks I think I’ve adapted to it really well.

Course Information

Introduction

A Vehicle Damage MET Technician identifies, removes and refits damaged mechanical and electrical components on cars or vans as part of the vehicle body repair process.

Overview

Technicians work in collision repair workshops, identifying and repairing damaged mechanical and electrical vehicle components. They assess faults, remove and refit parts, carryout diagnostics, and ensure repairs meet manufacturer safety and performance standards. Working independently or under supervision, they handle systems such as engines, gearboxes, suspension, and electrical components. Tasks include preparing reports, using diagnostic software, removing non-structural panels, and valeting. They ensure correct alignment and performance of all refitted parts. Their expert knowledge and technical skills are key to restoring accident-damaged vehicles to roadworthy condition.
