About Auto Skills (Reading) C.I.C.
Please note that as of 1st October 2018, Auto Skills has moved to exciting new premises in Tidmarsh, just outside Reading. We realise that this won't be as easy for some of our students to get to, but we are working with students and schools to provide transport.
We currently pick up from the bus stop at the top of Cranbury Road at 9am, and can pick any students up from Pangbourne station (8 minutes from Reading or 4 minutes from Tilehurst)
Auto Skills (Reading) C.I.C. - formerly known as 'Skidz - The Reading Motor Project Ltd', specializes in providing Motor Mechanics training to young people in and around the town of Reading.
Auto Skills (Reading) C.I.C. is a Community Interest Company (company number 10659244), dedicated to making a positive difference to the lives of young people in Reading and the surrounding areas by offering accessible training opportunities. Auto Skills offers a programme of Motor Vehicle Mechanics training available to young people from the age of 8. Learners from the age of 14 have the option to complete an accredited qualification (City and Guilds Entry Level 3 or Level 1 at Award, Certificate or Distinction).
Auto Skills' area of expertise is engaging young people at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) and supporting them in a practical, active environment to gain experience and qualifications that will teach them life skills and help them in future employment.
We are also able to offer training courses for students of any age, and can tailor make training packages to suit your requirements.

I work in a PRU as a Practical Skills Instructor. For years I have seen the mechanical confidence and ability of different pupils grow as they work with Auto Skills, clearly the approach taken to the necessary theory works as well as the hands on workshop experience, and several pupils (male and female!) have gone on to College and apprenticeships.

Ideal facility for young people who aren’t engaging with school but have an interest in motor mechanics and want proper hands on experience. Good friendly atmosphere with instructors who seem to have a genuine interest.
