MITO's ATech^® programme provides advanced training in the motor industry, both on the job (practical) and off the job (theory).

ATech^® overview

Who can do ATech^®?

ATech^® overview

ATech^® is a ‘research-based' training programme, which requires you to search for information yourself. You can often do this research at your own workplace or using the vehicles that you work on.

With ATech^® you work towards the National Certificate in Motor Industry (Advanced Technical) (Level 5). You will learn skills that reflect the latest industry developments, such as:

adapting to new technologies
servicing and repairing complex systems
carrying out failure analysis
understanding hybrid vehicle technology
diagnosing faults with multiplex circuits
interpreting body and paint specifications using computers and digital imaging.
