It’s not mandatory to have a qualification to start the Motor Mechanic skills assessment. You are required to EITHER hold your completed apprenticeship papers as a Motor Mechanic (Please note these qualifications could fall under many motor mechanical qualifications) and 3 years’ of full-time paid work experience pre or post qualification working as a mechanic. So, if you are from the UK and hold an NVQ 3 as a Motor Mechanic, you would only require the 3 years’.
If you don’t have an NVQ3, you are required to have a minimum of 5 years’ full-time paid work experience as a Motor Mechanic. It is common for clients to be assessed without holding any formal training or qualification so we use your 5 years’ of full-time paid work experience as proof for the Motor Mechanic skills assessment.
