Can i train to be a vihicle machanic without a driver`s licence?

Alex,takes no Prisoners!

Not really as you have to test the vehicle's also by driving. Normally your employer would put you through your driving test.

ideally you will gain your licence at some point during training as a mechanic who cannot road test a vehicle isnt much use!

yeah, but i guess it depends on where you go for training. i currently go to wyotech and it is not required that you have a drivers license to go to school, however you cant drive any of the school cars into or out of the shop. hope this answerer's your question.

definitely. Lets face it, most mechanics start their apprenticeships when they leave school at 16 - you can't drive until your 17!

Learning how cars work for a year or so will probably help you learn to drive anyway as you will know what is happening when you are pressing all this pedals and moving levers!

yes, why not ! but you wont be able to drive them when you have to test drive a car ! just notify your instructor, that you don't have a license, and your employer, of course how are we to know every mechanic has a license ! that works on our cars ! how do we know if every mechanic is certified !

probally, a licence really has no relation with being a machanic

Of course. Many, possibly most, started their training at 16, before they could hold a car licence. You will be able to drive cars in and out of the workshops but obviously could not road test them.

sure you can, it doesnt take a license to start turning wrenches and figure out how an engine works, you may have a hard time getting hired in a garage without a license because most garages require you to test drive vehicles but you dont need a license to learn how to work on cars. I started working on cars when I was 9 years old and own my own shop today!! Good luck to ya

Yes you can .
why not learn to drive while you train to be a mechanic .

In the same way that you don't need to be a mechanic to drive a car you don't need to know how to drive to fix a car.

Go to the airport and find out how many aircraft engineers are qualified pilots. It won't be many :)

Good luck to you.

Yes you can and I have hired many through the years without a drivers license but I do inform my insurance company and I make them sign a document that they can never drive any vehicle that is in our shop.
