Case Studies

In 2011 Paul Law set up his own MOT and Repair centre in Gloucestershire with the knowledge he had learnt through his advanced apprenticeship in vehicle repair and maintenance at Gloucestershire College. Paul completed his studies in 2009 and is now lucky enough to be managing director of his own business at the age of just twenty five. As a business owner, Paul is an excellent example of the entrepreneurial spirit that we as college impart on our students an also the benefits that advanced apprenticeships can bring to the economy. As an MOT tester and maintenance engineer, Paul specialises in the care of vehicles which are more than three years old, and with the vast majority of cars falling into this category it is a good time to be in this area of work “The motor industry is an ever growing market sector with more vehicles on the road than ever before and with increasingly complex engine systems being installed by manufacturers; it is imperative to ensure there is a supply of well trained technicians who have the latest knowledge and one of the most effective ways to achieve this is through apprenticeship training at Gloucestershire College” .
