Who is it suitable for?

This is a flexible qualification fundamentally designed for young candidates, ideally those on an IMI Apprenticeship. It suits lower level candidates (who discover the motor vehicle environment is one that they can flourish in), and the 'young engineers' with potential.

About

The IMI Extended Diploma provides individuals a broad breadth of learning within four Applied Units. The criteria are contextualised for the retail motor industry. The Applied Units include:

  • Vehicle Science
  • Vehicle Maths
  • ICT for Vehicle Repair
  • Electric & Electronics

A key aspect of the IMI Awards Extended Diplomas is their close relationship to Life Skills. Candidates also gain a broad knowledge and understanding of health and safety in the workplace.

  • practical assessments in a motor vehicle workshop environment,
