<br>Fancy yourself as a bit of a car buff, and love nothing more than taking dad's car apart to see what...if anything, is wrong with it? Well if that's you, then there are plenty of opportunities for apprentices in the retail motor industry- which can give you the chance to accelerate to a successful career in the trade!<br><br>What's it about?<br><br>The retail motor industry deals with all aspects of cars, vans, and motorcycles. It's a broad area employing people who sell vehicles, fix and service them, fit new parts, and even rescue motorists! With more than 32million vehicles on Britain's roads, there is a great need for qualified motor technicians to keep them roadworthy. <a href="http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/soso/journal/view/id/52674709e

In both, you'll choose your area of specialisation, whether that's motorcycles, cars, heavy vehicles or vehicle electrical systems.<br><br>There are also retail motor apprenticeships in; vehicle fitting, body and paint operations, parts operations and roadside assistance and recovery.<br><br>So something to keep everyone's motor running!<br><br>Who's it for?<br><br>It's essential to have mechanical and technical skills and you must have bags of enthusiasm and interest for the motor industry as a whole. You will be attempting to discover what's wrong with a vehicle a lot of the time so you need to be good at diagnosing and solving problems.<br><br>Understanding basic engineering principles is required, while you can't afford to waste time by calling a spanner and hammer. So being good with tools as well as your hands is a must!<br><br>Working in such an environment will be dangerous- so you must be well aware of health and safety issues before you enter your place of work. You don't want to be the guy that falls down the pit in the garage do you!?<br><br>What do I get out of it?<br><br>During an apprenticeship on maintenance and repair, you'll be carrying out routine maintenance and basic repairs but once on the advancedapprenticeship, you'll learn about more complex faults and learn how to identify and repair them using sophisticated diagnostic equipment.<br><br>Working in vehicle parts operations- you'll be working both behind the scenes receiving deliveries and at the front desk, serving customers. Vehicle fitters get to supervise fast-fit operations by managing stock, organising staff and advising customers. <a href="http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/soso/journal/view/id/52674709e

Advanced apprentices will be qualified to carry out roadside repairs, if possible.<br><br>The framework an apprenticeship in the motor industry follows includes; a technical certificate, an NVQ, Key Skills and Employment rights and responsibilities. Once qualified, a starting salary anywhere between £13k-£15k can be expected. <a href="http://kikiou.tumblr.com/post/64838024847/comparison-of-launch-c
