Over the past 12 months, Sam has shown outstanding commitment and dedication, studying hard to achieve his qualifications. He is now a fully qualified and practicing Motor Vehicle Technician – a fantastic achievement and a milestone worth celebrating.

Sam’s apprenticeship combined essential theory with hands-on experience, preparing him for the practical demands of the role.

His training included work on a wide range of vehicles, including Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), and has equipped him with the skills to safely move HGVs on and off ramps, conduct test drives both on and off-road, and hold a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC).

The CPC (Driver Qualification Card) is a key requirement for professional HGV drivers and requires 35 hours of periodic training every five years to maintain.
