Are you DVSA approved?

“We are an IMI approved training centre and all our IMI MOT training courses are recognised by the DVSA as part of becoming a tester or an MOT station manager (AE/AEDM)”

Do you give Free Consultations?

“Yes, Develop Automotive provide free consultations to each garage/candidate to make sure the training is the correct fit for them. Some of the MOT training has DVSA set prerequisites that have to be met to be able to attend, as do ATA accreditations, but we handle all that, giving advice and support as to how these requirements can be met”

Can you offer One to One Training at my garage?

“Yes, all courses are available one to one including MOT courses on-site at your garage. One key advantage to this is the candidate learns on the equipment they will be testing on when qualified as a tester. No other IMI MOT approved training company in the country offers this approach”

Is there a Re-Test Fee if we fail a course?

“On all our qualifications we give a ‘No re-test fee guarantee’. There should be no reason a candidate should fail one of our courses if their training needs have been correctly assessed and the appropriate training delivered in the correct manner. If however they did, then there is no charge for a re-sit of any of the MOT qualification exams”

Please note:

Annual MOT CPD exams have a maximum of two exam attempts, a second exam fee will apply in the case of a double fail – this is an external cost from the awarding body and exclusive to both group A and group B assessments

Why Develop Automotive?

How much does the training cost?

“As courses are delivered on an individual requirement basis and tailored to the candidate and their garage, we are not just “selling courses”

We have an initial discussion to find the best time and cost effective package that works for the candidate and their garage, making sure you get the most from your training

Targeting your training based on actual needs, not the normal blanket approach which often consumes excessive time and money has proven the best method to train candidates

We believe in long term mutually beneficial relationships with our customers and training at competitive and fair rates“
