[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 370637, member: 16173"] Interesting point ref the qualifications and to my mind whether they mean "less" than they did as in lack of PRACTICAL experience. The college where I took my 2330 (a whole other story vs the 236 I know) had a motor vehicle section and I got talking to one of the college technicians there. The kids HAD always up until then had to do a practical project as in take a car and modify the hell out of it just for the hands on experience - pretty much anything went. Didn't have to be roadworthy so long as it went, stopped and was relatively safe. Proper wacky racers stuff too.There had been a change of policy etc and the practical was being abandoned in favour of more on line and H&S based stuff. The car park behind the MV block was choc full of project cars from Micras to Sierras to old Landys destined for modding. These lads had done their first year, got their car and then been told they had 2 weeks to get rid of them or they would be scrapped. There was this forlorn looking 2.0S Capri with a Jag V12 lump waiting to go in it along with I think a P-150 axle etc..........The Capris now in my garage! There is I think a move away from practical skills. My abrasive wheel ticket has just run out and bearing in mind I last did a hands on day course I was told I can now do it on line through Human Focus! Glad I know how to chop a box in by hand!
