If you’re looking for a way to expand your career aspirations in the automotive industry, a qualification in MOT Testing could be just what you need.
Here are five ways our MOT Testing programme can help.
Demand for MOT Testers
MOT Testers in the UK have seen a significant increase in demand over the past couple of years, in part due to the backlog created during the Covid pandemic.
With electric vehicles becoming more popular, the demand for MOT Testers who are qualified to inspect electrical vehicles is also on the rise, meaning that now is a great time to get into the testing business!
Learn in high-tech, modern facilities
Undertaking an MOT Testing programme at The Sheffield College means that you will get to put your newly acquired skills into practice in our state-of-the-art motor vehicle workshops. This also includes facilities for electric vehicles, so that you can feel confident that you’re getting the most relevant and up-to-date training for the industry you work in.
Get the essential knowledge and skills for the job
The MOT Testing qualification covers the essential knowledge and skills needed for undertaking the practical MOT assessment, as well as managing your own professional development as an MOT Tester.
You’ll cover units such as conducting pre-test checks and carrying our road-worthiness tests, as well as covering safe working practices in the vehicle testing centre.
Future development
Once you complete this MOT Tester qualification, your career development doesn’t have to stop there. You could apply to undertake the DVSA final observed assessment in order to achieve their Certificate of Competence (CoC), therefore enabling you to become a nominated tester (NT).
Grow your business
If you run your own auto-mechanic business, you’ll be well aware of how important the peak season is for maximising revenue. Training up both yourself and your staff to become MOT technicians can help you to meet the demand of MOT requests and grow your business’ portfolio and revenue.
