Kia Light Vehicle Technician Apprentice - Sheffield
PENTAGON MOTOR HOLDINGS LIMITED
About the Role
All Kia apprenticeships are nationally recognised. In addition, apprentices will be provided with the opportunity to achieve additional recognised qualifications that support apprentices' career development, allowing them to be a recognised & accredited Kia Dealer employee! With industry-leading pass rates.
As an apprentice, you’ll work at a company and get hands-on experience. You’ll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.
The Kia Light Vehicle Technician Apprenticeship programme will support the apprentice to gain the knowledge and skills needed to become a fully qualified and accredited Kia vehicle technician, qualifying them to be responsible for:
- Servicing vehicles
- Repairing and replacing faulty parts and components
- Advising the Service Advisor about faults and required repairs
- Contact with customers about work required
- Diagnosing and repairing complex vehicle faults
The Light Vehicle Progression Pathway for the Kia Apprenticeships means that apprentices will undertake their Level 2 Autocare Standard (if not already achieved) and will then be automatically enroled onto the Level 3 Light Vehicle Standard. Giving apprentices the opportunity to qualify for basic servicing sooner!
