JIM NUTT – MOTOR VEHICLE TUTOR

I have been working in automotive education for the past 23 years teaching light and heavy vehicles, both mechanical and electrical alongside electric vehicles.

Prior to that I worked in Peugeot,Rover,Vauxhall and Ford Main dealerships as an automotive technician for 13 years. I served in the army for 8 years and in that time as a driver mechanic, worked and operated main battle tanks and light armoured reconnaissance vehicles both wheeled and tracked.  

I believe the goal of education is helping students to learn and research for themselves.
