You'll proberbly have to do it at a company that does coach building or panel beating maybe some where like rolls royce, aston martin etc etc etc. Not a very easy course to get on i suspect.

 I suspect that Rolls Royce, Aston Martin etc are not the only ones to offer this sort of thing!
Should be able to get an apprenticeship as a panel beater. Maybe ask some of the bodyshops on here if they're looking to take anyone on.

Combine it with English!
Most colleges should offer something - where abouts are you?

Right, dont know bout coachworking but theres deffinately apprentiships (SP) for panelbeating, im doing one at the moment. The one im doing is a three year course that gives me day release from work to go to college.
Basically at clooege your supposed to learn the theory behind what you do at work, for example lean the properties of different materials, how to weld, the structure of cars, everything really.
Apply to the big names because not many people take an intrest in the body side of it, for example when i started there were 15 of us theres now 8 the year above 4. Anyway i work for a Mercedes-Benz dealership bodydhop, bloke in my class works for a ferrari dealership bodyshop Another bloke restores old americain cars and basically fabricates the panels etc so you can get a placement with a coachwork type place.
Even if they turn you down you'll get just as good placement with a smaller shop.
The downside i'd say bout the apprentiship is that you are just cheap labour for the company. Also the money is w*nk. Seriously bad, but then at the end of it you get all of the qualifications which allow you to get good money.
Good luck
