Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Since signing on with the Skillnet KIA apprenticeship program it has greatly improved my knowledge of the motor trade within KIA vehicle aswell as other brands. The learning is intriguing and informative and makes you really engage in the classes online and within the training centre. Since starting the course I have learnt about wheels and what they are made from and how they work, tyres and why they are designed in certain ways and braking systems and how they work and what each component is. The training centre and food provided is great cannot fault the training provider.
