Motor Vehicle Entry Level 3

If you’re a school leaver and interested in motor vehicles this course is an ideal stepping stone towards achieving your ambition.

During this vocational course, you will:

• complete a series of motor vehicle assignments.
• learn how to organise yourself and develop a Personal Progression Plan.
• develop your employability skills.
• undertake volunteering or work experience.

How will I develop my English and Maths skills?

• If you already have a GCSE Grade 2 or 3 in English and Maths, or Level 1 Functional Skills, you’ll be supported to achieve a higher grade of 4 or above.
• If you’ve already achieved an entry-level Functional Skills qualification, you will progress to the next entry level or to Level 1 Functional Skills if you’ve already achieved Entry Level 3
• If you don’t have any English or Maths qualifications, you will be individually assessed and placed at the best level for you to succeed. You can also book into Study Plus if you need extra support.

We will invite you to a course information meeting event where you will receive information, advice and guidance about the course you have applied for. This will be an opportunity for you to gain valuable information about the course and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

You will provide a copy of your last school report / provider or a reference from an employer or relevant professional other. This is to ensure that we can support you to be able to achieve well on the course.

Don’t have any formal qualifications? Don’t worry, let us know and we can assess you to ensure you will be able to achieve well on the course.

This is a one-year, full-time course. You will be expected to attend College for three or four days a week.

During this course, you will be assessed in a variety of different ways to give you the best opportunity to demonstrate your skills throughout the year.

You could progress onto a Level 2 course, an apprenticeship or employment.

As a City of Bristol College student, you may incur additional costs to attend your course. For example, it is likely you may need to pay for travel and stationery.

You will need to provide suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) which includes boots, overalls and work gloves for use in the College workshop.

From September 2023, students on all motor vehicle courses will be required to purchase and wear a uniform in College. You will receive more information about this, including cost and how to purchase, at your induction.

If you are on a limited income, you may be able to receive help from our Learner Support Funding Bursary.
