All workshop staff have become part of a groundbreaking nation-wide
inititive to raise standards of car servicing and repair by testing
the current competence of vehicle technicians. Automotive Technician
Accreditation (ATA) is a voluntary scheme which provides a technician's
status and credibility of skilled individuals and their business.
About ATA
Automotive Technician Accreditation (ATA) is a voluntary assessment
programme for individuals working in the retail motor industry. It has
the backing of major vehicle manufacturers, insurers and independent
service and repair organisations, which have invested in the training
and continuing professional development of their staff.
ATA provides:
- Confidence that your car, motorcycle or scooter is in capable hands
- Independent quality assurance
- Proof of technical competence and professional responsibility
Regularly and independently tested
To become an ATA registered an individual must pass a comprehensive
and rigorous series of tests of practical skill and knowledge. To ensure
that they keep up-to-date with new technologies, technicians need to
be re-assessed every 5 years to maintain their accreditation. Accredited
individuals and the businesses which employ them have shown that they
are committed to providing customers with the highest level of technical
expertise and professional standards.
ATA accredited technicians have signed and are bound by a special Code
of Conduct and they are issued with a photo identity card, so that you
can be confident of their credentials.
