AUT201

Level 2 Automotive Technology

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Awmee.

This course is based on the Motor Industry Training Organisation (MITO)  Ignition programme at level 2 and Accelerate programme at level 3 which are part of their Automotive training programme for schools.

StartUp® offers the chance to earn micro-credentials in the automotive industry approved by NZQA,  credits towards NCEA Levels 2 and 3 and a great introduction to the working environment. 

With online theory units and practical learning in a workshop,  StartUp® is just like a mini-apprenticeship. 

This course operates by splitting the group and rotating each sub group between online theory units and practical workshop learning so it is very important that you are able to manage your own learning and time to achieve in the online portion of the course with minimal supervision. 

Due to space constraints the combined maximum number for this course is 15

Preference will be given to those students who have a genuine interest in a career in the motor industry. (Light vehicle Mechanic, Truck Mechanic, Diesel Fitter, Collision Repair Specialist etc.) 

Note: - The level 3 course practical element is based in servicing the motive and driveline components of various vehicles. Candidates wishing to take this course will need to find a garage or dealership who is willing to assist in providing part, if not all of this experience.

Recommended Prior Learning

Pre-Requisite: At level 2 - open entry.
