Light Vehicle Maintenance & Repair (VRQ) IMI Diploma Level 3

GCSE grade 4 in Maths and English in addition to achievement of the IMI Level 2 Technical Occupational Entry in Automotive Care.

Having already acquired the Level 2 Automotive Care Diploma, this course will build on what you have already learned and more. You will learn to diagnose complex vehicle system faults using the latest diagnostic techniques and equipment - from live data reading on diagnostic scanners, to using oscilloscopes, to engine and transmission overhaul. 
Units include:

• Engine Systems - Diagnosing and Rectifying System Faults
• Chassis Systems - Diagnosing and Rectifying System Faults
• Transmission Systems - Diagnosing and Rectifying System Faults
• Electronic Systems - Diagnosing and Rectifying System Faults
• Inspecting Vehicles Using Different Methods

The course content is similar to that of the Level 3 Light Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Technician standard.

You will typically be in College three days per week with time spent in the workshop undertaking practical activities and in the classroom studying theory work.

You will be assessed through practical assignments and online, multi-choice exams. Your progress is shown through your 'ePortfolio' and will help you monitor your progress through the year.

This is a full-time course. It is not possible to combine this course with other Vocational, T Level, Apprenticeship or A Level programmes.

Upon completing this course, you would typically seek employment within the automotive industry as an improver, gain an apprenticeship or go on to university through an Access course.
