Automotive Apprenticeships

If you want to work in the motor vehicle industry, doing an apprenticeship is a great way to kick start your future career.

Kick-start your career in the automotive industry

Whether you want to focus on becoming a general mechanic or specialise in accident repairs, work in a small garage or for a large national chain, or even open your own business in the future, apprenticeship training will enable you to develop the skills and knowledge you need for your chosen area.

During your apprenticeship you’ll combine working with studying towards occupational standards set by employers, learning-on-the-job alongside experienced colleagues in the workplace rather than sitting in a classroom all day – and, because you’ll be doing a real job for a real employer, you’ll get paid too!

On-the-job-learning

In the workplace you’ll learn on-the-job by working alongside existing experienced staff, and when you’re in college you’ll be taught by qualified tutors who have worked in the industry themselves.

What’s more, you’ll be supported throughout your training by college staff who will work closely with your employer to ensure that the skills you are learning are what is required by their business and that you will achieve your full potential and career aspirations.

Advanced Technology and Automotive Centre

You will combine working for the company with studying towards occupational standards set by employers – usually attending college one day per week – and will train in the brand new Advanced Technology and Automotive Centre at the Wellington Road campus, in Bilston.
The £8.1million centre has been purpose-built for automotive and engineering studies and has dedicated automotive and electrical workshops and is equipped with a range of industry-standard equipment.
