About the Course

Motorbikes are Rwanda's most common form of transport — which means repair skills are always in demand. This course trains you to service and repair standard motorbikes and the growing fleet of electric motorbikes on the road.

You'll work on real machines from day one, building toward a specialization in electric motorbike battery and motor systems — a skill set very few technicians in Rwanda currently have.
