right now I doing a free course offered by min. of community development and it's really good! Its a 20 week course but there is only about 4 more weeks to go until we get our certificates and have graduation!! It really helped me understand indepth and basic car maintenance.
Our tutor keeps both theory and practical classes at his garage and we get hands on experience while learning the theoretical parts of auto mechanics.
we changed transmissions within the space of 2hrs.
we learned to do simple maintenance like change filters, oils and fluids and diagnose when these oils and fluids and filters need changing
also we learned to change brake pads and shoes and drums etc and bleed the braking system
so it was a really nice experience! I not too sure if they having another round of classes this year again but you can call the min. of community development and ask them about their 20 week courses for more info

^I was actually going to the basic electrical offered in my area, but it was a bit too basic as I already knew a lot more than what was being taught....

NESC and trinizuela is the best i came across.

Might go either

mine was supposed to be a basic course too but the tutor realized that the students are a bit advanced therefore he ran through the basics like oil change etc for the novice students and for us advanced ones we learned to change transmissions and scraped down engines etc
so is really up to the tutor
