First SsangYong apprentices on target
SsangYong apprentices have completed the first module of the brand’s inaugural Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair apprenticeship.
Mark Burrows, aftersales director at SsangYong Motors UK, said: “I am delighted to welcome our new apprentices to this great brand, and commencing the journey in developing our technicians of the future.”
The SsangYong programme is nationally recognised by the IMI. It was launched in April 2019 and has been designed specifically to maximise on-the-job training whilst minimising time away from the dealership.
It is three years in duration and includes eight, one-week long modules per year, delivered at the SsangYong Academy in Nottingham. As well as containing information on training and assessment, all apprenticeship standards must contain an End-Point Assessment where an independent organisation is involved – this ensures all apprentices following the same standard are assessed consistently.
