Overview

irtec Inspection Technician

irtec is an independent accreditation that validates the competence of technicians working to maintain the commercial vehicle, trailer and passenger carrying industries. An irtec licence is valid for 5 years and tests both the knowledge and practical level of an individual.

A voluntary scheme, the irtec accreditation was developed by IRTE, a professional sector of the Society of Operations Engineers (SOE), to raise standards and encourage industry self-regulation in road transport maintenance. It is recognised as the industry benchmark of skills and knowledge.

irtec is managed for the IRTE by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), and delivered at Remit’s accredited centre in Derby or at a client’s site anywhere across the UK. Our partnership with the IMI and IRTE allows quality and independent assurance of the scheme. irtec not only enables individual technicians to develop their skills as they move through their career, but also helps employers to demonstrate their commitment to technical excellence and vehicle safety.
