Do you love bikes and would like to know more about them to access this booming industry? This course is aimed at anyone interested in not only the maintenance and repair of their own bike but also those wishing to gain a better understanding of bikes and their mechanics. This could lead into working or volunteering in the industry, further study or set the wheels in motion for starting up your own bike repair business.
