The training takes place over a 3-year period and takes the form of classroom and workshop sessions.

Cars: Engines and BMW diagnostic equipment - Ultimately leading to the ability to undertake:
- Maintenance

- Repair activities on vehicles to the highest standards once fully qualified
During the time spent at your retailer, a mentor will be allocated to oversee the work-based learning programme. A BMW representative will also visit on a 12-weekly basis to set performance targets and ensure any development needs are being met.
