Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Diploma Level 2

The Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Diploma has been designed to enhance the students’ vehicle service and repair skills, knowledge and understanding to level 2.

This programme will provide continued theoretical knowledge and practical skills required by potential vehicle technicians. Students successfully completing all units of study will have mastered the intermediate mechanical skills needed for work on various vehicle systems and have an understanding of the related technology.

While the qualification is recognised in its own right, it is also directly linked to the achievement of Apprenticeships and provides students with the technical certificate portion of an Apprenticeships framework.

Practical skills and knowledge delivered by demonstration and practical assignments in the workshop. Theoretical knowledge delivered by classroom tuition, guided assignments, Information Learning Technology (ILT), and personal study. In addition to your main study programme you will also engage in GEM and GAP activities to develop your English, maths and employability skills.
