As an apprentice, you’ll work at a company and get hands-on experience. You’ll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.

  • 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

Your training

Kia Apprenticeship Programme operates using a 12-week cycle. Within each 12-week period, apprentices will receive the following teaching, learning and assessment:

  • One college block attendance with teaching delivered by dedicated Tutors (both via Virtual Classroom Training and face-to-face at the Kia Academy in Derby)
  • One workplace visit face-to-face with their dedicated Skills Coach
  • One tripartite progress review involving the Apprentice, Skills

Where it leads
