The Programme

The programme consists of theory and practical related subjects, taught on a day release basis. During the programme learners will complete a technical certificate, key skills and an NVQ in the workplace at the relevant level. On completion of Advanced Apprenticeship, qualifying learners can go onto undertake the Automotive Technician Accreditation (ATA). The ATA assessment consists of observed practical tasks, theory questions plus an on-line test at Service Maintenance Technician level.

Entry Requirements

To meet the requirements of an Apprenticeship you will have to be employed in the Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Industry.
