An apprenticeship is an excellent opportunity to gain additional qualifications while you are
gaining work experience and earning a wage. Working in the
automotive industry requires enthusiasm to learn and a passion for
cars no matter what department you are working in. Although
previous experience isn't always required it can be a benefit even
helping out with cars belonging to your family.
With Babcock your automotive apprenticeship will involve working in
a garage gaining experience and building a portfolio of evidence of
the tasks you have carried out as well as either in house training
or attending college or one of our Training Academies. You
will need to have the determination to learn new tasks as well as
working your way through the training requirements. If you
