DESCRIPTION
The best foundation for a career as a Motorcycle Technician is through an apprenticeship.

Duties will commonly include servicing bikes, carrying out checks and general maintenance, repairing and replacing faulty parts and components, producing cost estimates and maintaining repair and service records.
As an apprentice you will earn whilst you learn and much of your practical experience will come from supervised work in the garage itself.

Testimonials
“I enjoyed working in a real work environment for 4 days a week as I love working in a hands-on way. The technical classes and knowledge I have gained through my apprenticeship at Martec has been fantastic. To top it off I earned a wage whilst studying for something I’m so passionate about”
Jonathan Holdcroft
“Motorcycles are a massive part of my life, so it made complete sense for me to work with them after I finished school. I found Martec training and went along to see what it was about. I am so pleased that I did as I now have the qualifications to help my career. I would eventually like to open my own business repairing Motorcycles.”
