This micro-credential is designed for individuals who have left secondary school and are interested in working in the automotive industry. Smaller than a qualification, micro-credentials certify achievement of a specific set of skills and knowledge and are approved by NZQA.
From tools and equipment, through to vehicle systems, components, and safe work practices, you will gain the foundational knowledge required for an effective introduction to the industry or explore a potential career pathway.
You will complete unit standards online via eLearning, which allows you to complete theory elements of the programme in your own time and at your own pace. You can access eLearning resources, including videos, interactive simulations and online theory assessments, at any time and from any device—mobile phone, tablet or computer. Real-time results and progress reports are available through MITO’s online Portal.
