City and Guilds Bike mechanics training...

Good Morning prospective Mechanics...

Good morning prospective mechanics trainer person.

Digger, on your courses, do the prospective techs get paperwork to file away and read at their leisure later?

Asking as I attended an 'other' leading establishment for the same qualification, and have forgotten those things what I learnt about headset variations/types,
and whether an eight speed chain can be used with a ten speed derailleur etc, and which bit goes where and when, with what and why, so find Sheldon as useful as beforehand.
Some paperwork a day would have shut me up/given a useful reference.

Bump anyway.

Buy yourself a book about maintenance. There's nothing better than a traditional medium of a regular book :-)

I've got several books of varying up-to-dateness, but despite reading them during 'gentleman's quiet time', I'm not as good as the posts 18 onwards on this thread; http://www.lfgss.com/thread26131.html (and that's just the headsets.)

I thought education was VAT exempt? Isn't City & Guilds a vocational training supplier? or is it because the training is actually provided by a company and not a school, college or university?
