If you are looking for an MOT training provider, it is important to ensure they are approved by a recognised awarding organisation and that their courses meet DVSA requirements. All MOT Testers must complete approved training and hold the correct qualifications before applying to become a Nominated Tester.
Before enrolling on an MOT Tester course, technicians must normally have at least four years’ relevant vehicle repair experience and hold a suitable Level 3 qualification. Some training providers also offer pre-qualification courses, such as Light Vehicle Inspection Technician awards, to help experienced technicians meet the entry requirements.
Below is a list of established UK MOT training providers, including details of the courses they offer, relevant accreditations, and how to contact them.
