An Apprentice’s training includes:

• VCQ Level 3 in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair (depending on experience)
• Technical Certificate – IMI Diploma Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair
• Functional Skills in English, maths and ICT (if required)

This standard has been designed to meet the professional standards of the relevant professional bodies of the Engineering Council for initial registration as an Engineering Technician (Eng. Tech).

What to expect at the end of your apprenticeship

• DAF believes in providing an extensive, high quality apprenticeship which gives their apprentices the opportunity to advance, succeed and fulfil all ambitions for a career in the motor industry and with such a wide range of skills instilled, an Apprentice can move into any other area of the motor industry
