Hi Marie,
I'm pretty sure you don't need any experience to get an apprenticeship-the deal is, they train you, you work for them for very little pay. BMW, Honda and Norton are always looking for apprentices.
Option 2-college.
Since I had no time for either I wanted to try somewhere private so I found LW Motorcycle training in Burton upon Trent (Midlands). They do bespoke mechanics courses. It's's expensive (£25 an hour) but the instructor is a great guy, so if that's something you can afford and if you live more or less nearby I'd recommend it.
I decided it was simply too expensive for me so I got a job with motorcycles (sales), and during my lunch breaks/free time I'm always at the workshop asking the mechanics tons of questions  for now, that works for me.
If you want a career as a mechanic though, I think college is probably your best option.
