The 3 year training programme is designed around the Level 3 Motor Vehicle Service And Maintenance Technician (Light Vehicle) Apprenticeship Standard with the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) as our chosen End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO).
Additionally, the programme is enhanced by the inclusion of Ferrari Technical Training Courses to allow you to graduate with the skills and knowledge required by the dealership.
Incorporated into the programme will also be training and assessment for the following qualifications;
- IMI Level 3 Award Automotive Refrigerant Handling (F-Gas ARHQ)

By the end of your apprenticeship, you will have developed a range of knowledge, skills and behaviours from customer service skills, through to being able to fully rebuild a high-performance engine and understanding how to repair and service classic Ferrari vehicles. The Light Vehicle Technician apprentice programme will provide a hands on experience whilst becoming a fully qualified technician.
