Intermediate Apprenticeship in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair

Apprentices can move up to the Advanced Apprenticeship programme or may prefer to continue with employment at craft level.

The Advanced Apprenticeship in Motor Vehicle Engineering programme provides the best possible preparation for achieving skilled and/or technician status within the industry. It may also lead to Higher Education or university. Apprentices are encouraged to become Associates of the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI).

All Apprentices will need to have an employer so that the "on-the-job" element of the programme can be delivered.

Ideally you should have a minimum of 3 GCSEs including Maths, Science and English at grade 3 (D) or above. This level of programme will usually last for approximately 24 months.

We want you to achieve to the very best of your ability at CRC. To make this happen we offer both learning and personal support by specialist staff tailored to meet your specific needs.

The Apprentice has a formal Training Agreement managed by the College. The agreement lays down the commitment and responsibility of the employer and the College. The learner also has an Individual Learning Plan which details all the specific units within the VCQ and all the other agreed qualifications, such as Functional Skills, Technical Certificate, ERR and any additional requirements to be achieved during the apprenticeship framework timescale. The learner will have a programme leader who will be responsible for the training programme. The programme leader will visit the learner in the workplace on a regular basis to assess their performance against national standards, and will monitor the learner's progress and review overall progress set against agreed targets.
