Your apprenticeship training is a blend of on-the-job learning at a Perrys dealership and off-the-job training at a dedicated centre. You'll work on real vehicles alongside experienced technicians, gaining practical skills. This hands-on experience is combined with classroom sessions and online learning to give you the theoretical knowledge you need.

Your progress is monitored through a structured system of regular assessments and reviews. This includes a portfolio of your work, continuous feedback from your mentor, and regular progress reviews with your line manager and training provider. At the end of your apprenticeship, you'll complete a final assessment to confirm you've met all the requirements.

Balancing work and study is a core part of the programme, which is why your training is structured to help you succeed. A key part of your apprenticeship is the dedicated time set aside for your studies. This means you won't be expected to complete all your coursework in your own time. You'll have the full support of your mentor and the wider team to help you manage your workload.

Typically, you'll need GCSEs at grade 4 or above in Maths and English. However, we are more interested in your passion for the automotive industry and a willingness to learn, so we encourage all interested candidates to apply.

Most of our apprenticeships last around three years. This provides plenty of time to gain all the practical skills and theoretical knowledge required to become a fully qualified professional.

Our goal is to offer a permanent position to all our successful apprentices upon completion of their programme.

Your apprenticeship is a fixed-term contract designed to give you the skills, experience, and qualifications you need for a career with Perrys. We are committed to developing talent from within, and a significant majority of our apprentices who successfully complete their programme are offered an ongoing, permanent role with us.

Apprentice technicians are not required to acquire their own tools for the initial two years of training, as they will be using the tools of their supervising skilled technician.

A tool sponsorship scheme is available to assist with the acquisition of a basic tool kit. While obtaining tools sooner is an option for apprentices, it is not a requirement.
