Course Description

Our workshops are modern, purpose built, with all the equipment you would expect to find in industry. We also have specialist facilities including a rolling road and a composite workshop. We have fantastic links within the motorsport industry including: McLaren, West Surrey Racing and Gordon Murray Designs. This helps to keep our qualification relevant to employers and gives our students good work experience and employment opportunities. The Brooklands name is synonymous with motorsport and goes back as far as 1907 when the world’s first purpose built banked motor race circuit was built here, something that we are very proud of and are committed to continuing. Our race team successfully competes at race circuits up and down the country and last year brought home 7 different trophies. We are currently competing in the Formula Vee 750 series and BTRDA Rally Cross Production Class.
