For €22 I can't see it covering anything but the basics that are freely available elsewhere. I doubt it'll go into the details of how to change brake pads or change the filters on different brands, which you can get for free from YouTube, here or brand forums.

You'd be far better off to search for tutorial videos for a specific job you're doing.

Just get a Haynes manual for the car you have or looking at working on

Tbh if you master your own car and get good at servicing, fixing, identifing parts then you'll learn other cars very quickly since they can be very similar

That's far too detailed for a beginner. You only need the basics, ie oil and filters, brake pads, change fluids, battery etc. You'll find all that for your car on YouTube. I'd advise doing a car maintenance evening course, nothing like hands on learning.

I remember doing such a course years ago, it was utterly useless. A mechanic was delivering the course but for security reasons no one could actually do any work on a car, not even a sample/training car. It involved a lot of watching him point to things on his own car.
I suppose not all car courses are the same.

I've done a few over the years for cars and bikes, all of them were hands on.

Free vids on youtube will cover just about everything you need.

That is a waste of money. Most information is available free on the internet and youtube if you have a little patience.

A "course" lol. Accredited? Accredited for what and by whom? The Royal College of Engine Oil Changers?
