It’s an ideal progression route into the motor industry, where trained vehicle technicians are always in demand.

The IMI Technical Certificate is one of the most comprehensive motor vehicle learning programmes available. This internationally recognised qualification provides a standardised approach to the delivery and assessment of the underpinning knowledge requirements of NVQs/SVQs endorsed by the Motor Industry Training Council (MITC). Advanced Level units covered on the Level 3 Diploma include the following:

Braking, steering and suspension
Engine operation and fault diagnosis
Transmission system and fault diagnosis
Auxiliary systems and complete fault finding techniques

Entry requirements

Typically you will need 5 GCSEs at grade 4/C or above, including a 4/3 (C/D) combination for maths and English.

Next steps

The course will give you what you need to go straight into work or move onto a vehicle maintenance and repair apprenticeship. On completion of this course, technicians working in an automotive engineering environment can apply to become a vehicle tester, after completing a VOSA course.
