Entry Requirements

Our Apprenticeship programmes will give you vital hands-on experience, learning from real life situations, with the guidance of industry professionals. You’ll gain the skills and confidence needed to excel in your chosen career.

What You’ll Learn Once accepted on to the Apprenticeship, you’ll study on a ‘release’ basis, spending occasional days at the College learning the knowledge that supports your Apprenticeship and the majority of your working days with your employer. During your Apprenticeship, you will be trained and assessed in a variety of specialisms within the automotive industry. The exact areas covered will vary according to the focus of your course and the needs and demands of your employer. Typical areas covered include: • Working Safely & Effectively • Foundation Skills • Basic Vehicle Body Repair • Moving Loads & Vehicle Jacking You’ll also gain: • Functional Skills Level 1 in Maths, English & IT, unless you have achieved grades 8-4 at GCSE or equivalent • Employee Rights & Responsibilities (ERR) • Personal Learning & Thinking Skills (PLTS)
