What’s on at the RMI Academies - February 2018


With 2018 well underway, both prospective and existing technicians need to remain up-to-date with automotive training. The RMI Academy of Automotive Skills provides a wide range of courses delivering the best training at the best price without commercial interests.

It’s easy to access your local RMI Academy, thanks to their central locations. The new Mersey Gateway bridge opened in November for those wanting to travel to Runcorn, and the Southam site is reachable from across the Midlands, London and the South West with a central location near the M1, M6 and M40.

Both academies are offering Annual Training Classroom Sessions, for MOT testers to complete their mandatory annual training before the March 31st deadline.

To view the available courses at either of our Academies, you can use the calendars below to see our February training dates. To book a course or for more information, please call the Member Helpline on 0845 305 4230.

If you can’t find any suitable training dates on our calendar please give us a call to discuss your needs.
