Today’s motor industry

Part of a huge global industry, employing some 580,000 individuals in 67,000 businesses; the motor industry in the UK is one of today’s most dynamic sectors of employment and is worth more than £140 billion per year to the UK economy.

Manufacturers continue to push back the boundaries of technology, resulting in vehicles of increasingly high quality and performance. Areas such as vehicle manufacture and design, maintenance, body repair and refinishing, air-conditioning and electrical systems are becoming increasingly complex, demanding excellent technical skills in a range of hi-tech disciplines, using state-of-the-art specialist equipment.

The automotive industry offers almost numerous opportunities, if you have the drive, confidence and ability to perform in this challenging and dynamic sector, the rewards can be very attractive, with opportunities at every level to move up to the next step in your career.

IMI Awards Ltd offers a comprehensive portfolio of national qualifications, both technical and non-technical and we are the only awarding body which is totally focused on the skills requirements of the automotive sector.
