Level 3 Award in Heavy Electric/Hybrid Vehicle System Repair & Replacement
The candidate will need to demonstrate the correct inspection methods and use the appropriate equipment and information when making judgements on the serviceability of vehicle systems and components.
To achieve an IRTEC licence, a technician must first pass an Under Pinning Knowledge (theory) Test which consists of 50 questions at an IMI approved assessment centre. 35 questions will be of a technical content whilst 15 questions will be legislation related.
Once the Under Pinning Knowledge Test has been completed you have 12 months in which to successfully complete all the practice assessments.
Practical Assessments (Inspection of Vehicles) are carried out in the workplace (under controlled conditions) by an IRTEC-approved assessor. Vehicle technicians are tested on their practice skills and theoretical knowledge and, if successful, are awarded an IRTEC licence.
Once accredited, IRTEC technicians agree to abide by the IRTEC code of conduct, receive a licence card, certificate and as a result are placed on the IRTEC technicians register.
Both the Under Pinning Knowledge Tests and the Practical Assessments are completed at the technician’s place of work. This means that the candidate is assessed in their own surroundings using their own tools and familiar vehicles.
Our trainers will usually come out to your premises for a day and can train up to 6 candidates per day.
Under Pinning Knowledge Test – 1 hour.
Practical Assessment – Between 1 hour and 2 hours, depending on the category and candidates’ capabilities.
