What is on the floor

Counted each term as part of the assessment audit. If a number drops below the teaching requirement, the intake for that major is capped until it is replaced.

How practical hours work

Six students, six vehicles, one instructor

A class never exceeds six in a bay. Everyone gets a vehicle and a workstation; the instructor rotates between jobs, checking torque, procedure and documentation.

  • Morning: 60-minute theory block, then straight onto the vehicle.
  • Every task is timed and scored against an OEM procedure.
  • Failed task? You repeat it the same week, on a different vehicle.
  • Job cards and photos go into your portfolio for interviews.
