All-round vehicle technician (First automotive technician) (work-based learning)

You enjoy complex key work

During the All-Round Vehicle Technician training, you'll learn to diagnose problems using modern test equipment. You'll perform maintenance and repairs independently. You'll learn to use tools, as well as work with sophisticated electronics and on-board computers.

As you study and gain experience, you'll likely learn something new about yourself: the more complex the key work, the more fulfilling it becomes. Discover it at Summa Automotive.

With your passion for cars, you want to discover all the technical secrets. You love to accelerate, even on the shop floor. As a car mechanic, it's hard work. You have to work quickly but carefully, ensuring that all the vehicles you work on are safe and back on the road.

As a versatile vehicle technician, you're the first point of contact in the workshop. You manage your colleagues and explain exactly what you've done to the vehicle to customers. It's a great job, man.
