Other Important Information
The end-point assessment consists of three parts; an Online Knowledge Test, a Practical Skills Test and a Professional Discussion.
Future Prospects
On top of the technical skills, apprentices will also build a solid understanding of workplace safety, customer service, and teamwork. These softer skills are key to success in any job, but especially important in hands-on, customer-facing industries like automotive maintenance and repair.
Once they’ve successfully completed the Level 3 Apprenticeship, they'll be recognised as fully qualified technicians, able to take on a wide range of tasks on their own.
The qualification opens up a variety of career paths across the automotive sector – from repair workshops and dealerships to manufacturers – as well as options to continue their training or specialise further.
Entry Requirements
To apply for the Level 3 Motor Vehicle Service & Maintenance Technician Apprenticeship, candidates must:
Secure employment: Have an employer in place who is committed to supporting them throughout the apprenticeship.
Work hours: Be employed full-time, working a minimum of 30 hours per week, and be on the company’s PAYE scheme.
Educational qualifications: Ideally hold a minimum of 3 GCSEs at grade 4/C or above (or equivalent). If candidates do not hold maths and English at grade 4/C or above, they will be required to complete Functional Skills qualifications alongside their apprenticeship.
Pre-employment checks: Successfully complete a scope of work review to ensure your job role aligns with the apprenticeship requirements, a skills scan, and initial assessments in maths and English.
