Automotive Pre-Apprenticeship (Light Vehicle Maintenance & Repair)
This engaging and motivating Study Programme is for 16-18 year olds who have a keen interest to learn about maintenance associated with vehicles and machinery used in the automotive sector.
Our automotive programmes are taught by assessors and trainers with extensive industry experience. Many of our previous apprentices have gone on to own their own garages.
Learners can typically progress to a higher level of learning such as a Level 2 Apprenticeship.
Start Date: September 2025
Learners will cover topics that include:
- Basic vehicle maintenance
