Find an entry level position with an independent company that will provide further training after a year or two, once you've proved you have the basic qualities of a good employee and are worth further investment. Training will run into £1000s for them and employers need to know theyre investing in someone who will give them a return.
Turn up everyday, on time. Do as youre asked (within reason) and keep your mouth shut. Sweep the floor, tidy up after senior techs, fit tyres and take every opportunity to learn something. Just be cautious of managers that will promise you the earth with no intentions to fulfill.
It'll take 3 years to get your City & Guilds or equivalent certificates. Do not accept any half assed, watered down training programme (many chains will offer some sort of internal training.) You want a nationally recognised training provider and certification.
For the MoT ticket you need your level 3 City & Guilds or equivalent, 4 years experience working on the class of vehicle you want to test, a clean criminal record and full driving license for the vehicles you'll be testing.
You need to go to college and get a level 3 NVQ in automotive engineering (i.e an apprenticeship). Once you’re out of your time as an apprentice, you can then complete the MOT tester course.
