Repairify has launched a bespoke Digital Technician Apprenticeship Programme – a first for the company – to mark National Apprenticeship Week (10-16 February).
Developed in conjunction with training provider QA, the programme has been unveiled to help address the acute skills shortage within the sector.
Tailored for the automotive industry, the programme will enable apprentices to specialise in diagnosing, calibrating and programming vehicle software, troubleshooting systems, and improving efficiency with cloud-based management. It also equips apprentices with core IT skills, cloud systems, and fault resolution to drive agility and operational excellence.
Paul Cunningham, head of European operations, Repairify, said: “We identified early on that none of the existing apprenticeship courses fitted exactly with the requirements of a digital technician. As a result, we invited QA to provide a full proposal of the role and skillset to develop a partnership that would offer a bespoke and relevant apprenticeship course to the market.
“QA’s self-paced learning platform with interactive labs and configurable learning is an ideal solution for delivering the course and we’re delighted with the outcome. We are looking forward to onboarding our initial two candidates in January in partnership with QA, with more apprentices expected to come onboard later in the year.”
The course will train apprentices in the following pillars of excellence:
- ICT (Level 3)
- Azure; AWS (Amazon Web Services)
- Held Desk Excellence
- IMI (Industry standard accreditation)
- AOM 230 ADAS
- Level 3 Routine Maintenance on EV and Hybrid vehicles
