Apprenticeship - This is not a job, it is a career.

The Apprenticeship programme is designed for recent school leavers who expect to gain at least three GCSE's, including Math's and English. During the programme, we'll develop your aptitude for working with cars into a career.

The Company

Meeting the needs of our customers is naturally the most important thing to us, so we spend a lot of time making sure the team that does this is properly trained, highly professional and totally focused.

Now we're looking for the next generation of champions to join our apprenticeship programme, helping us to go the extra mile for our customers and setting the standards that we've become famous for.

The Programme

The two-year programme is specifically designed for recent school leavers who want a fast route into the motor industry. During your time here, we'll teach you all you need to know about Fast-Fitting, so that you can boost your skills, build on your experience and gain a level 2 Apprentice in Fast- Fit.

We're one of the UK's top 50 providers of vocational training with over 70% success rate. So if you expect to achieve 3 GCSE's including Maths and English, you could be working with all makes and models of cars, joining a close-knit team and getting the career you really deserve.

The first week of the programme will be held at one of the National Tyres and Autocare Training Centres and will involve an induction to the programme, the company, health and safety and basic skills. Thereafter, you'll work alongside qualified technicians in our centres to gain experience and collect evidence of on-the-job training for inclusion in your portfolio. You'll also complete 12 weeks off-the-job training where we'll expect you to complete an NVQ in Motor Vehicle Service Replacement including a Technical Certificate within 2 years - where you'll learn skills in IT, communication, numeracy and working with others.

Once you have completed your NVQ, you will participate in City & Guilds of London Institute Skills Tests. Upon completion, you will have achieved an Apprenticeship which includes NVQ Level 2 in Motor Vehicle Service Replacement
