Course details

About this course
Apprentices will develop skills in working independently, operating as an effective team member, and establishing good customer handling skills. They will understand how their workshop and the dealership/garage functions from a commercial perspective and identify ways in which they can work more efficiently. Working on all systems found within the vehicle, an apprentice’s role ranges from replacing simple parts, right through to diagnosing and rectifying complex faults with the use of diagnostic methods and equipment.
If apprentices aged 16-18 have not previously achieved grade 4 GCSE or equivalent in English and Maths, they must achieve Level 2 English and Maths Functional skills as part of their apprenticeship course. PSA provide both these qualifications as part of the apprenticeship.
