Who is it suitable for?

This L3 VRQ would suit:

• school and college leavers who wish to join the automotive industry.
• individuals (who are not employed in the industry) who want the opportunity to develop occupational knowledge and carry out practical tasks.
• employees of the industry who are seeking to enhance and/or demonstrate their understanding of their work role.

This VRQ offers an ideal step to the Vocational Competence Qualification (VCQ) for those who are employed, and wish to continue with their studies, as the knowledge at L3 meets that of the related VCQ.
