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

One standard, the workshop floor

Motor Vehicle Service and Maintenance Technician at Level 3: diagnosis, servicing and repair on light vehicles, learned in a working workshop rather than on a mock-up.

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.
