NEW FOR IMI SKILL AUTO 2018
The search for automotive excellence has begun so we thought we’d take this opportunity to update you on a few changes to the 2018 competition cycle.
Nominations Centres will be able to register with WorldSkills UK as many entrants as they wish for the Automotive Technology stream of competition. The restriction of five per campus/site has been removed.
Online test Automotive Technology competitior registrants will this year be invited to attend a selected centre to complete the online test under exam conditions. The online test process for the other streams (Body Repair, Refinishing and Heavy Vehicle Engineering) will operate as in previous years but also have the restriction removed. We hope to be able to adopt the new system for all competitions in 2019, enabling more young people to enter.
Travel Unfortunately, due to budget restraints, we are unable to support travel costs for those progressing to the practical qualifying rounds, however IMI Skill Auto will still provide overnight accommodation and meals for competitors at the competition venues.
