    Hey guys just looking for help as regards college courses etc.

    So I want to work in the area of agriculutural machinery, or to put it simply being a tractor mechanic or sales. It's not in the family so I can't just walk into the job. Could someone direct me as to what college/course could get me off the ground?

    I'm new to this so any help at all is valued.
    Thanks in advance,

    A friend of mine qualified as a tractor mechanic. He completed an apprenticeship with FAS. Took him four years to complete. You will need to find a garage to hire you as an apprentice first. Each year, you will spend time working for your employer and then spend a few months in college. Each year of the apprenticeship your wages will increase.
