Motor Vehicle Maintenance and Repair

The Level 2 Diploma course has been designed to give students an understanding of the electrical and mechanical systems that are used on a motor vehicle in terms of operation, design and maintenance.
The course has been designed to give the learner an insight into the motor industry by completing a number of set tasks, along with multi-choice examinations to test knowledge.
During workshop sessions diagnostic equipment is included into the assessment process. Embedded into the programme are essential skills that will develop the students’ numeracy, communication and IT skills to build confidence both in the classroom and workshop.
A number of supplementary tasks are also included which enhance the students’ learning. These qualifications were developed in collaboration with the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), the Sector Skills Council for the Automotive Retail Industry.
