Apprenticeships

Motor vehicle apprenticeships

An apprenticeship is a real, paid job. You work for an employer and train with us at the same time, and come out with a nationally recognised qualification and the experience to go with it.

The standards

Three standards, light vehicle to heavy

Autocare Technician at Level 2 for fast-fit and servicing work, then Level 3 for light vehicle and for heavy vehicle, where the diagnostics and the vehicles both get considerably bigger.

For employers

How it actually works

Six steps, from the first conversation to somebody else marking the result. It is the same on every apprenticeship we run.

1

We help you write the role

Your Employer Relationship Officer checks the job genuinely covers the standard before anyone signs anything.

2

We help you recruit

Advertise the vacancy through us, or enrol a member of staff you already have.

3

Your apprentice gets a named tutor

A person, who visits your workplace, and who you can email directly.

4

Training runs around the job

Timetabled teaching plus work completed in post, on a schedule you have from day one.

5

A review every 8 to 10 weeks

You, your apprentice and the tutor. Half an hour. Progress, targets, and anything getting in the way.

6

Somebody else marks the result

An independent end-point assessment, by an organisation with no connection to us or to you.
