Motor Vehicle trio wheel away to IMI Skill Auto Competition 2017
Three South Eastern Regional College (SERC) Motor Vehicle students, Gareth Rea, Glenn Palmer and Christie Boyle, will fly to the Volkswagen Group National Learning centre in Milton Keynes on 18 May for the National Qualifiers of the competition, which is part of World Skills UK.
The talented trio will be assessed on six tasks, designed to reflect the knowledge of technicians working towards, or at, a level 3 light vehicle vocational qualification.
The IMI Skill Auto competitions provide an opportunity for automotive technicians to demonstrate the technical skills required to be a successful modern day technician. Competitors are required to work on a selection of cars and components carrying out various tasks, which will test their skills and abilities.
The competition consists mainly of carrying out a practical activity as well as an element of reporting diagnosed faults; tasks may be from (but are not limited to) any of the following:
- Engine mechanical (petrol and diesel)
- Engine electrical
- Steering & suspension
- Transmissions
- Vehicle inspections
- Vehicle electrics
- Vehicle inspection
- Braking systems.
SERC would like to congratulate Gareth, Glenn and Christie on reaching the National Qualifiers, and wish them each good luck in their participation on the day.
