Automotive Maintenance & Repair Level 3

This course is designed for learners who want to develop advanced technical skills in diagnosing, servicing, and repairing modern vehicles. Building on earlier knowledge, this programme focuses on deeper understanding and hands-on competence across a wide range of mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems.

Students learn how to carry out complex diagnostic procedures, identify faults, interpret technical data, and perform high-level repairs using industry-standard tools and equipment. The course reflects current motor industry practices, giving learners the confidence to work independently and professionally in a fast-evolving automotive environment.

By completing this qualification, learners are well-prepared to progress into professional roles such as vehicle technician, diagnostic technician, or MOT preparation specialist, or to continue into higher-level automotive training.

The course content also forms part of the Maintenance and Repair Apprenticeship, meaning if you were to progress to an apprenticeship you’ll already have studied a year’s worth of content, making you ahead of the game compared to other candidates.
