In addition to the theoretical aspect of this programme, candidates will participate in two road side checks during which time they will be required to fully inspect and report on a variety of Large Goods Vehicles. During the inspection days, candidates will be guided, watched, and assessed by tutors. Candidates will be expected to:

• make an informed decision as to the severity of any defect found
• decide upon what action is necessary
• use the Categorisation of Defects Manual to confirm their decision
• provide feedback to the driver of defects found
• adhere to strict health & safety practices

The programme will culminate in a City & Guilds examination and those candidates who successfully complete both theoretical and practical elements will be awarded the ‘City & Guilds Advanced Vehicle Inspection’ certificate.
