How to Apply
Who is the course for?

The VTAA is for technicians without a Level 3 qualification who wish to progress to the Level 2 Awards in MOT Testing and DVSA Certificate of Competence to begin conducting MOT tests under the new DVSA requirements.

The emphasis of ABC Awards Vehicle Technician Accredited Assessment is to assess that a technician has the required level of practical skills and knowledge that is needed in order to meet the pre-requisites for MOT Testing. To complete the VTAA, technicians will need to complete practical assessments and online knowledge assessment(s).

Course Aims

The ABC Awards Vehicle Technician Accredited Assessment aims to:

  • show technicians have the knowledge and skills expected of someone working at Level 3
  • enable technicians without a Level 3 qualification to enroll on MOT Tester qualifications in order for them to become qualified to conduct MOTs
  • show that a technician meets the Motor Vehicle Level 3 National Occupational Standards.
What are the entry requirements?

A minimum of 4 years’ experience working in a garage and a basic understanding of MOT Testing.

What Can I Do Next?

For some learners this qualification could prepare them for progression to further learning and training. For others, this qualification could also provide a useful recognition of their practical skills and knowledge, to aid their step from one job role to another.

This qualification is primarily developed for those individuals who wish to enhance their career by subsequently undertaking Level 2 Awards in MOT Testing and then qualifying as an MOT Tester.

Achievement of the Level 2 MOT qualification enables them to apply to undertake the DVSA final observed assessment in order to achieve their Certificate of Competence (CoC), enabling them to become a Nominated Tester.
