Level 3
Motorcycle Technician (Repair and Maintenance) Apprenticeship Standard Level 3
COURSE OVERVIEW
A Motorcycle Apprenticeship is designed specifically for individuals who have a passion for 2-wheels but also covers all vehicles where the rider sits astride the frame. Over a three-year period, you will be working four days a week with your employer and attending college 1 day per week.
In work you will have the support of a Workplace Mentor who, alongside college, will support your journey and ensure that you have the right knowledge, skills and behaviours to ultimately become a qualified motorcycle technician.
You will be paid a wage throughout your training and by the end of your apprenticeship you will have gained nationally recognised industry qualifications.
Skills and knowledge covered include:
- Service and maintain motorcycles in line with manufacturer specifications
- Remove, repair and replace components in line with manufacturers defined instruction
- Use diagnostic methods, mechanical and electrical measuring tools and equipment to check compliance and rectify faults
- Investigate symptoms of motorcycle fault(s) and identify the underlying causes prior to repair
- Access specific information e.g. motorcycle repair information, wiring diagrams, maintenance tables, technical production information, safety recalls
- Apply advanced diagnostic principles, logical problem-solving techniques and complex rectifications
FURTHER INFORMATION
You will need to be in paid employment in the motorcycle industry so that you are able to cover the requirements of the standard and will ideally work at least 30 hours per week.
You will need a contract of employment and be covered under your employer’;s relevant insurance.
Ideally you will hold English language and Maths GCSE at grade C/4 or above, if not you will work towards Functional Skills Level 2 as required.
On completion you may be able to work towards higher levels of technical training, including master technician or professional accreditation, along with supervisory and managerial positions.
On successful completion of this apprentice standard you will be eligible to apply to join the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) Professional Register. This is a register of qualified time serving individuals in all aspects of the motor industry and enables the public and employers to verify that you have qualified as an apprentice.
You will be assessed in your knowledge, skills and behaviours throughout the apprenticeship at specific points known as Gateways. At the end of the programme, you will sit an externally set End-Point-Assessment which includes:
- Knowledge Assessments
- Practical Observation
- Professional Review that is supported by a Portfolio of Evidence
Functional Skills are assessed through online tests and must be passed to Level 2 in order to move to EPA.
There is no cost to an apprentice.
If you are an employer employing an apprentice over the age 21 (without an EHCP) then you are likely to pay 5% towards the training cost.
If you are an employer with an Apprenticeship levy (i.e. your payroll exceeds £3 Million) then you will pay in full from your levy account.
