Why choose this apprenticeship?

Our Vehicle Paintwork Repair Apprenticeship can be government-funded and is designed for candidates who do not hold a formal qualification. 

How is the apprenticeship delivered?

When studying a motor vehicle qualification, the apprentices will be assessed on various stages of technology and maintenance, including health and safety and preparing vehicles to be painted after damage. This can include ensuring all parts are stripped from the vehicle in order for it to be painted, preparing relevant areas and adjoining areas for blending paintwork, masking out the vehicle, selecting, etching and priming the area to be treated and manually mixing and matching colour to the rest of the vehicle.

How the assessment works

Apprentices are assessed through practical observations, both in the workplace and at GTG Training. They'll also complete online tests and be expected to submit job card evidence. Apprentices will complete vocational training in the workplace and will attend GTG Training's purpose-built motor vehicle workshop on a block-release basis for knowledge and practical testing.
