MOT Annual Training & Assessment
Course Overview
We’re bringing back the best of both worlds! This year, in addition to completing your mandatory annual assessment, we are excited to offer a 1-day refresher course that also includes your Annual Assessment. For those of you who’ve been testing for a while, you might remember the older refresher courses before they were replaced by the current training and assessment requirements. We believe that since MOT testing is a hands-on role, your training should reflect that.
During the 1-day refresher course, our expert instructors will guide you through this year’s key topics and lead you in a practical session focused on the MOT routine in our purpose-built, fully equipped training facility. This approach ensures that you’re well-prepared to take the assessment, leaving you feeling confident and ready. At the end of the day, you’ll have completed both your annual assessment and a practical review of the MOT process.
Important Reminder:
All testers must complete their training and assessment by 31st March 2024 to remain qualified. The pass mark for the assessment is 80%, and you will have 1 hour to complete it. If you also conduct bike MOTs (Class 1 & 2), an additional assessment will be required. Please reach out to us, and we can arrange this for you.
