Autotech Training doubles MOT Manager courses

Autotech Training has increased the number of its DVSA-approved MOT Test Centre Management courses by 50% to cope with rising demand.

The two-day courses are now being carried out weekly within its new, state-of-the-art training suite at the company’s Milton Keynes headquarters.

Mandla Ndhlovu, head of Autotech Apprentice & Training, said: “By doubling the number of MOT Test Centre Management courses we are able to meet demand, and offer greater availability to other technicians.

“While we have implemented strict social distancing measures, our larger training facility, which we moved into just before lockdown, has enabled us to increase the number of people we can train at any one time.”

Autotech Training is also ramping up its Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Level 3 training courses, delivered directly to vehicle technicians in their place of work.

Mandla said: “Just five per cent of UK vehicle technicians have been trained in electric vehicle servicing. The industry is moving at a rapid pace and, while we all navigate through the challenges brought on by Covid-19, it is vital that the need to up-skill is not forgotten.”
