Dale pursues his Love of Motor Mechanics

Dale Rouse grew up working on cars with his dad and brother and knew that he would pursue a career working in the motor industry. Upon leaving Saffron Walden County High School, Dale enrolled onto a Level 2 Motor Vehicle course at Cambridge Regional College and progressed up to Level 3 Diploma in Vehicle Maintenance. 

Dale said, “The course is engaging and interesting. I love that I get to do something that I enjoy. The motor workshops are amazing. Sitting in a classroom wouldn’t be for me.”

Alongside his studies, Dale works part-time as a Trainee Technician at Treadfirst in Saffron Walden, where he is responsible for servicing, brakes, and general motor vehicle maintenance.

Dale added, “I plan to stay with Treadfirst after completing my Level 3 qualification, where I hope to work my way up to Technician. It has always been my dream to be a mechanic fixing things. My advice to anyone considering their career options, is to do something you enjoy, it makes the learning aspect so much easier.”
