The IMI Level 2 Award in MOT Testing is the second stage in becoming a qualified MOT tester.
It was developed alongside the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and is designed to equip learners with the qualification, knowledge and skills necessary to carry out and accurate and repeatable MOT Test Routine.
Once you have successfully completed and passed this award, the final stage (stage 3) will be to complete a VT8 demonstration MOT test with a DVSA assessor to receive your certificate of competence. This will normally be conducted in your own Vehicle Testing Station (VTS) and successful completion will allow you to commence testing with immediate effect.

“Excellent communication both before the course started and during the course. I was provided with clear details in advance including location and a plan of each day. All staff were friendly, welcoming and professional and able to answer any questions or queries. The instructors knowledge and experience was evident. Only having a small number of candidates was helpful. Overall I found the course to be well structured and informative. The content was delivered clearly with a good balance between theory and practical aspects. I would not hesitate to recommend this company”
