The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) is carrying out a review of the following National Occupational Standards (NOS):
- Maintenance and Repair – Light Vehicle
- Mechanical Electrical and Trim (MET)
- Core Automotive – Health & safety, use of hand tools, comms etc.
Consultation events will be mainly electronic, in the form of online surveys and video/telephone conference meetings, and we need industry experts like you to feed in. There is no requirement to attend all meetings – just be as involved as you wish.
For those who take part, a CPD certificate will be issued as a small ‘thank you’ for your time, which can be used towards IMI Membership/Professional Registration.
