Hi
My name is michelle and yes there are female mechanics out there. I qualified as a mechanic 15 years ago and in them days it wasn't easy(I hope it's better now). I spent 3 years on day release at collage to get my city & guilds level 1,2 and 3(city & guilds 383). I did this by getting myself working in a garage then went onto what was then YTS, they paid for my training.
I no longer work in a garage as I left to work on hydraulic platforms (cerry pickers). I have worked here now for 10 years. I started here (Versalift UK) building the platforms and now I am in the engineering office telling the fitters on the shop floor what they need to build to the customer specification.
I have also got a full forklift, crain and IPAF liecence.
So lady's you can do a man's job, I proved it.
I know of one other qualified female who was in the year above me at collage and worked in the garage down the road from where I worked.
Us lady's in Northamptonshire are not affraid of getting our hands dirty.
If anyone is looking to do this as a career and wants to ask me a question or wants advice I will be happy to help if I can.
