Recommended Prior Learning

Students that are enrolled in Year 11 Trades and have successfully completed the automotive standards from that year.

New students require a proven track record for attendance and engagement. Approval is up to the Head of Techology. 


An industry level pre-trade automotive course that consists of both classroom and onsite workshop exams in Avon City Training Services (Sockburn) who coordinate the whole course. 

Areas of assessment: 

  • Motor vehicle systems and components 
  • Vehicle servicing 
  • Workshop equipment
  • Engine strip and reassemble
  • Automotive trade structure  
  • Wheels and tyres

Students will be selected on the following criteria:

  • Ability to complete the course - Students will be required to successfully complete the first classroom based exam to gain enrollment into further standards 
  • Proven record of attendance - Student need to attend onsite assessment days and failure to attend may result in removal from the course. 
  • Genuine interest in the automotive industry - This is a self paced course that requires independent study with teacher guidance to gain credits through unit exams

It is expected that successful students will achieve between 21-29 unit standard credits during the course.  The standards listed below are a sample of those available and will give an idea of the variety offered within this course.

NB: Students who show the above attributes are favorably considered for the Automotive Trades Academy Course (Dual Enrolment).
