Ahead of National Apprenticeship Week, Repairify is announcing the launch of the industry’s first bespoke Digital Technician Apprenticeship Programme in conjunction with world-class training provider QA, helping to address the acute skills shortage within the sector.
The scheme will provide access to industry-leading employment opportunities for young technicians wishing to embark on a modern apprenticeship journey, supporting the development of skilled automotive professionals by offering an unparalleled training structure and hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools.
As a Repairify apprentice, young technicians will be part of a team dedicated to delivering quality and precision advanced remote diagnostics, calibrations, programming, and automotive repair solutions across the automotive repair industry.
The Digital Technician (Level 3) tailored for the automotive industry, provides apprentices with a fully tailored, structured training programme enabling them to become fully qualified.
he 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; and Level 3 Routine Maintenance on EV and Hybrid vehicles
The Repairify Digital Technician Apprenticeship Programme will enable apprentices to specialise in diagnosing, calibrating and programming vehicle software, troubleshooting systems, and improving efficiency with cloud-based management. The programme also equips them 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.”
