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."
