You'll be developing the key knowledge and skills required by vehicle accident repair employers across a range of units on this practical and engaging course. You'll learn how to specialise in multiple repair areas, including MET (Mechanical Electrical Trim), paintwork, and body repairs.
You'll also benefit from the opportunity to experience a real working environment, as part of the course requires you to engage directly with employers.

Throughout the duration of this course, you'll complete online assessments at the end of each group of units, to check you've learnt the appropriate skills. You'll also be building up a portfolio of evidence from practical tasks, and will complete a final assessment on both your skills and knowledge towards the end of the course.

You could progress onto further training and education in a range of automotive and engineering subjects, or continue your focus on this area with the Level 3 Diploma in Vehicle Accident Repair here at The Manchester College.
