At what level do your work? If you want to be a machanic the normal way is to do an NVQ on the job.

You could always consider getting a permit (which you will need anyway) and setup your own garage, if you have a speciality you could make a lot of money.

I don't think there is a shortage of machanics but there is a shortage of vehicle electronics specialists, i.e people that know how ECUs work inside out etc.
