Achieving Qualifications While Gaining Experience

Employers value real working skills when they are selecting new employees and promoting employees. So if you have worked for and achieved qualifications as well as gained experience at work you will be in a good position to further your career.

Depending on your starting point you can work towards an Apprenticeship or an Advanced Apprenticeship with Skillnet. Usually you work through your level 2 NVQ, Keyskills and level 2 technical certificate and then progress onto your level 3 NVQ and level 3 technical certificate. Once you have achieved these awards you are recognised as a qualified Vehicle Technician. You can then build on these awards through further training or education. Skillnet can provide you with ongoing advice and guidance on how to start an Apprenticeship to allow you to become a Senior Technician or a Senior Manager.
