Motor Vehicle Apprenticeship

As a Motor Vehicle Apprentice, you will work alongside experienced mechanics in a busy garage, developing practical skills and gaining hands-on experience.

Your daily duties will include:

• Assisting with vehicle servicing, maintenance and repairs.
• Carrying out basic vehicle checks, including oil, fluid levels and tyre pressures.
• Learning how to inspect and replace brakes, tyres and suspension components.
• Assisting with engine repairs and mechanical fault finding.
• Using diagnostic equipment to identify vehicle faults.
• Learning about electric and hybrid vehicle technology.
• Maintaining a clean, safe and organised workshop.
• Following health and safety procedures at all times.

As your skills and confidence develop, you will gradually take on more responsibility and work towards completing tasks independently.

The apprentice will work full-time in a local garage, gaining practical experience alongside qualified mechanics, and attend our new training centre in the West Midlands one day per week.

Training will be delivered by experienced, qualified motor vehicle tutors and will include:

• Level 2 Autocare Technician – approximately 15–18 months.
• Level 3 Autocare Technician – approximately 12 months.
• Level 3 Electric & Hybrid Vehicles.
• Level 3 Refrigerant Handling.

The apprentice will receive ongoing support and guidance from both their employer and training provider throughout the programme.

Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, there is the opportunity to progress into permanent employment as a fully qualified Vehicle Technician. With experience, apprentices can develop into Senior Technicians, Diagnostic Technicians, MOT Testers or Workshop Managers, with further opportunities to specialise in electric and hybrid vehicles.
