• Observing and assisting technicians
• Following health and safety procedures
• Servicing
• MOTs
• All aspects of vehicle maintenance and repair

Not only will apprentices be working and be trained at a DAF garage, they will attend City of Bristol College, four times a year, for two-week periods, to work towards their Level 3 in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair.

A skills coach will visit at least every 28 days as part of a close support network, to ensure that apprentices are both enjoying and succeeding in their course.

• Level 3 in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair
• Functional Skills in English and maths (if required)
