Overview

City & Guilds Level 3 Pre-Vehicle Testing Assessment

To be able to become an MOT Tester, a technician needs to have four years’ experience and a Level 3 qualification accepted by DVSA. The Pre-vehicle Testing Assessment is for technicians who have the experience required to work competently but do not hold a qualification/accreditation to prove it.

What does this do?

It addresses the lack of recognition of current competence which doesn’t allow technicians without a qualification to become an MOT Tester. Technicians’ competence is benchmarked against National Occupational Standards regarding the following systems:

• Brakes
• Suspension
• Steering
• Wheels and tyres
• Emissions
• Electrics
• Body/Chassis

Successful learners can progress to C&G Level 2 Award in MOT Testing to become MOT Testers.
