Completing an Automotive Apprenticeship will provide you with a trade for life which you can use throughout your career.

What is a vehicle body repair technician?

This type of technician is often known as a panel beater. When a vehicle has been in an accident or is falling apart from old age or crummy maintenance, then a vehicle body repair technician, repairs the vehicle body. On this apprenticeship you'll learn how to repair and replace damaged panels using gas, electric and plastic welding, and you will get to use specialist body jigs and tools. You'll also learn how to estimate costs, an essential skill if the body shop is going to make money.

What is the work like?

When cars, vans, motorcycles and larger vehicles are damaged in accidents, they are taken to a body repair workshop. Some repairers will complete the process from start to finish and others will have specialised roles and work on one part of the repair process. Panel technicians, also known as panel beaters or body repair technicians, specialise in repairing or replacing damaged panels.

Duties may include:
• Assessing the level of damage and making a decision whether to repair or replace panels
• Removing damaged panels
• Repairing damaged chassis and panels
• Keeping logs of work carried out and informing the customer of any additional works required

How will I learn on a vehicle body repair technician apprenticeship?

This course usually takes three years to gain an NVQ/VCQ Level 3. To do this you'll need to go to a further education (FE) college or training centre on a day or block release programme. The rest of your time will be spent in a place of employment where you will get to learn practical skills from seeing the real working environment. You will shadow qualified technicians so that you are able to learn first-hand how to repair faults and damage. You will also get the opportunity to assist in the repair work. Once you pass your assessments and progress through your course you will be able to start completing tasks on your own. To ensure you are competent in completing tasks on your own a Remit assessor will visit you periodically at the work place to complete assessment testing with you.
