When it comes to hiring a new team member, making sure an applicant has the relevant skills for the position plays an essential role. This is where MTA Institute’s automotive vocational preparation program can assist.  

Designed to give students an entry-level introduction to the automotive industry, students undertaking the course learn a range of skills related to identifying and inspecting the mechanical and electrical components of light vehicles.  

Over a five-week term, students spend numerous hours in the workshop under the supervision of qualified trainers, working on their practical skills.  

This hands-on experience is extremely valuable to prospective employers as the students should not only come away with the basic skills and knowledge to work in an automotive workplace, but often have a higher level of confidence in their own abilities.  

Seeing an individual has completed a vocational preparation course also suggests that the student has an interest in the field and is likely to continue working in it. Having a passionate employee who enjoys their work is a significant asset to any business – especially those in an industry suffering from a major skills shortage.

Finally, on successful completion of the course, students come away with the AUR20720 Certificate II in Automotive Vocational Preparation, paving the way to an automotive apprenticeship and further training opportunities.  

MTA Institute is always looking to connect our top students to great employers! To register your interest, contact courses@mtai.edu.au
