Autocare Technician Apprenticeship

Get hands-on. Build your skills.  Start your career in the motor industry with an Autocare Apprenticeship.

You’ll gain hands-on experience, learn from experienced technicians and work towards achieving a Level 2 Autocare Technician apprenticeship qualification which will provide a foundation for your future career in the motor industry — all while earning a wage.

Your opportunity

Join one of our independent workshops and become part of a team that keeps customers safe and their vehicles running smoothly.

Working with cars and light goods vehicles, you’ll learn how to inspect, maintain and repair vehicles using specialist tools and modern diagnostic equipment. As your confidence grows, you’ll develop the skills to solve problems, take responsibility for tasks and deliver excellent customer service.

What you’ll learn

With guidance from your workshop team, you’ll learn to:

• Carry out vehicle safety inspections, servicing and routine maintenance
• Work on brakes, steering, suspension, batteries, charging systems and exhausts.
• Develop your understanding of air conditioning, wheel alignment and safe working practices for hybrid and electric vehicles.
• Use specialist tools, measuring instruments and diagnostic equipment.
• Understand customer needs and help identify suitable solutions.
• Handle stock deliveries, store parts correctly and support parts ordering.
• Organise your workload, meet deadlines and contribute to a successful workshop.
• Follow health and safety procedures and understand relevant consumer legislation.

Alongside mentoring and support at your workplace you will also attend residential training at the Atcham Training Centre, helping you build the knowledge, skills and confidence to complete your apprenticeship.

You don’t need to be a car expert already — enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are a great starting point.

If you enjoy practical tasks and use your logical approach to solve problems along with working well with other and keen to develop your independence. If you have GCSE grade 4 in English and maths, or equivalent qualifications – this could be the apprenticeship for you.

Are you ready to study alongside gaining a workplace experience and jumpstarting your career?
