Course Overview

 

This is a three day course for experienced technicians who would like to become an Motorcycle Tester.

 

Course Structure

 

Over three training days the course will cover:

 

• Relevant acts and regulations

• Tools for the job

• When you can refuse to begin a test

• Use of the testing manual

• Standards and procedures

• Documentation and security

• Use of the online MOT testing service

• Routine inspection

• Classes of vehicle

 

Qualification

 

On completion of the course, a candidate will be qualified as an MOT tester, having achieved the National Occupational Standard for the role. Once this qualification has been awarded, a candidate will be able to apply to the DVSA to be authorised as an MOT tester. 

 

Eligibility

 

To be eligible, candidates must:

 

• Be a skilled technician with a minimum of 4 years' full time employment, permitted by law, in the service and repair of the vehicle types to be tested

• Have current and full UK driving licence for the vehicle classes you want to test

• Have no unspent convictions for criminal offences connected with the MOT testing scheme or the motor trade, or involving acts of violence or intimidation

• Be 'of good repute'.

​

Due to the changes to MOT training, candidates are no longer required by DVSA to be nominated by an MOT Manager before attending a training course. Instead an MOT manager needs to verify an individual's employment upon completion of the course.
