What qualifications do I need to become a Vehicle Technician?

While businesses often prefer Vehicle Technicians with experience, this can also be an entry level role. You are able to gain practical experience through apprenticeship programs, work placements or new Vehicle Technicians usually receive on-the-job training. More experienced Vehicle Technicians may find work as Senior Technicians.

While there are no formal educational requirements for Senior Vehicle Technicians, many businesses require educational standards. Many employers ask for candidates who have completed at least an apprenticeship. Some employers also ask for applicants with relevant NVQs or SVQs in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair.
