The range of expertise from complex analysis to precision measurement allows possible issues to be swiftly identified, contained and rectified. In conjunction, intricate dynamic topics can be detected through means of ATG and road testing and investigated further within the analysis workshop.

The two years spent in the apprenticeship gives you all the base knowledge, skills and support required to move into a role as a future analysis vehicle technician. The duration of your apprenticeship will be split between your time in college and a plant based environment here in Goodwood - The Home of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
