The Vehicle Technician Accredited Assessment acts as an equivalent accreditation for motor vehicle technicians who wish to demonstrate Level 3 knowledge and practical competence, but who do not hold a formal Level 3 qualification (required for MOT courses).

Once this course is completed, successful candidates will fulfil the eligibility criteria for entry onto the Level 2 Award in MOT Testing, allowing them to qualify as a DVSA MOT Tester.

This course is suitable for:
• Technicians wishing to become an MOT Tester who are experienced but do not have a formal Level 3 Certificate

Modules Covered
• Brakes
• Suspension, steering, wheels & tyres

• Evidence to demonstrate three years’ experience could be provided through items such as former technician declarations or CV’s. This list is not exhaustive

Assessment
• The assessment consists of 4 practical tasks per module
