Hi .thanks for the reply. Yes I have read the Vetassess guideline on technical interview. I just want to know how detailed or in depth do they go into questions.

Re: Vetassess motor mechanic technical interview
Unfortunately we don't seem to get too many mechanics through this way to offer much advice. Having had a technical interview in my trade by VU (Shouldn't have happened but never mind), it's pretty straight forward. Think about what questions you might ask someone to discover how skilled they are, and go from there. I could probably cover 1 and 2 without being a mechanic as they are more general questions, so maybe focus on the bits where you will need to give more detailed info.

Re: Vetassess motor mechanic technical interview
Download the Vetassess Fact Sheet for Mechanics from the Vetassess website. This will give you a heads-up on the competencies they will be asking about.
One further heads-up: do brush up on automatic transmissions. Even if you don't work with them, and Vetassess won't expect you to, you will be expected to know something about them as they are the norm in Australia.

Your post also seems very rude and demanding. The people who post on here are volunteers and will be more likely to answet a question asked in a friendly way than a shouted demand.
