COURSE OVERVIEW

This new IMI Level 2 Technical Occupational Entry Qualification in Automotive Care will equip you with the essential knowledge, practical skills, and professional behaviours needed to service, diagnose, and repair vehicles within the automotive industry.

It covers a broad range of vehicle systems, including fuel, air, and exhaust systems, engine operations, transmission and driveline components, as well as emerging technologies such as hydrogen fuel systems and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Every learner at Crawley College who is under 19 will undertake a personal Study Programme designed to develop them academically, practically and personally. Study Programmes contain 3 essential elements:

  • Subject Course – Vocational or chosen Academic subject, usually studied for 12 – 16 hours a week.
