Mechanics

Teacher of Mechanics - David Selby 

At 11 years of age, it was apparent that I had a passion for anything mechanical. I started to re-build small lawn mower engines for a friend of the family. Carrying on this passion and at the age of 16, I started work as an apprentice, spending 1 year at college and gaining my first qualification in Vehicle Mechanics. Progressing on to HGV maintenance, I continued working within mechanics work shops gaining valuable industry knowledge.

For the last few years, I have worked in specialist provisions, delivering and signing off qualifications for IMI (In Motor Vehicle Industries) and SEG awards.

In my workshops, I provide a safe, working environment, allowing all students to explore new practices and ways of working. I am privileged to facilitate the development of the young students, ultimately securing a pathway to future employment.
