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

The Kia Light Vehicle Technician Apprenticeship programme will support the apprentice to gain the knowledge and skills needed to become a fully qualified and accredited Kia vehicle technician, qualifying them to be responsible for:

  • 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

An apprenticeship includes regular training with a college or other training organisation. At least 20% of your working hours will be spent training or studying.

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
  • Coach and their workplace mentor
  • One 1:1 teaching session with their dedicated Skills Coach via virtual classroom

Where it leads

Upon completion, apprentices will have the opportunity to upskill further by enroling onto Kia Master Technician training pathways to understand further development for EVs too!
