If you are a school leaver and you have little or no experience of the motor
industry then this IMI course will provide you with a solid foundation to
progress towards an industry-recognised qualification.
This programme uses a practical approach, with classroom delivery kept to a
minimum in order to gain an understanding of motor vehicle technology from a
workshop environment. It also provides the Maths, English, and work skills
you’ll need to successfully progress into the world of work or further
study.
As part of the course, we will provide overalls, safety boots and safety
glasses.
There is a course fee of £50 for all learning materials, including
E-books.
This course also offers
- Industry-standard workshops
- Expert teaching staff
- Various trips and visits

Guest speakers
- Basic motor vehicle repair principles

Please note: This course is aimed at learners aged 16-18 and adult learners
with an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) identifying it as their chosen
course. Adult learners are encouraged to contact Student Recruitment who will
look at alternative Level 2 courses or if necessary Adult English and Maths
courses that will enable them to join a Level 2 course
afterwards.
There is the opportunity to progress on to a full Level 2
Diploma course for those that demonstrate advanced diagnostic skills and
have suitable references from a previous course.
Students may have the opportunity to study Functional Skills or GCSEs in
