Hello Daniel. Thank you for your question.
To become a vehicle mechanic in the Army, you will need to complete basic training which depending on your age is a 23 week course at Harrogate or 14 weeks at Pirbright/Winchester.
Then you will go to the Defence School of Electronic and Mechanical Engineering at MOD Lyneham and complete a 46 week course. Here, you will learn to be a mechanic. You will be taught how to fix vehicles and carry out maintenance, repairs, and inspections. You will also get car and HGV licences.
On completion of training, you will be posted to a unit and be a vehicle mechanic in the Army full time.
For more information on this role, what qualifications you need to be able to join and also what qualifications you can gain, please visit the following URL https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/royal-electrical-and-mechanical-engineers/vehicle-mechanic
I hope this helps
