Teachers Information
Jim Sheffield taught automotive engineering at the Gold Coast Institute of TAFE where he conducted classes in motor mechanics to adult, prevocational, trade, advanced trade and secondary school students.
In 1979 the course, Basic Car Care, was introduced to adults.
This set of notes has been written to make the job of studying for examinations easier for the student.
Jim wrote
"Workshop accidents happen mainly because the person does not THINK before he / she acts or does something, because they do not ASK or QUESTION what they are about to do. EXAMINE the situation carefully before starting to do the task and finally CHECK for yourself that everything is safe before you act."
