🥳𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 🥳

A huge congratulations to Liam Belfield on successfully completing his Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanics!

Liam has been an outstanding asset to the team at Central Tyre and Auto Care. His ability to learn quickly, retain information, and apply his skills with confidence has made a strong impression on everyone he works with.

These qualities have not only helped him excel throughout his apprenticeship, but have also led to him continuing on with the team beyond his completion — a testament to his dedication and value within the workshop.

A massive thank you to Tyson, Colby, and the entire team at Central Tyre and Auto Care for hosting Liam throughout his apprenticeship. Your support and guidance have played a huge part in his success, and it certainly does not go unnoticed.

Well done, Liam! 👏🔧
