    I'm just finishing my last year of my Apprenticeship in Light Vehicle Body Repair. Now I run my own Bodyshop. This career is definitely not just for boys. Girls need to get at it too!

    The recording facilities at NWRC are second to none. I use my free studio time to demo and record new songs. You wouldn't get this anywhere else at such a professional level.
