About the course
This qualification has been designed for secondary school students. It is designed to recognise the foundation skills and knowledge required for further training in the motor industry, and to provide students with the opportunity to gain exposure to career opportunities in the automotive industry. The need for the qualification has been identified as a result of an overall review, which is not yet completed, of the Motor Industry qualifications.
The compulsory section of the qualification covers the knowledge and skills required for workplace calculations, automotive industry knowledge and safe work practices, literacy, and communication.
Elective Set A provides opportunity for recognition of automotive knowledge and skills required by industry in areas such as electrical and electronics, preventative maintenance, workshop engineering, engine repairs, and bodywork. Elective Set B provides an additional opportunity for people to gain recognition of first aid skills, driving knowledge, and keyboard skills.
This qualification prepares people for any of the Level 2 provider-based, or Level 3 or 4 apprenticeship-based qualifications registered in the Motor Industry subfield. Some standards are common with these other qualifications to provide multiple entry points for people to the industry. The Motor Industry Training Organisation (MITO) publication Career Prospectus gives guidance on career pathways (contact the SSB, details on page 5).
