How you’d get it

How you’d get this certificate

  1. Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
  2. You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer The Institute of the Motor Industry has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
  3. The centre assesses, and The Institute of the Motor Industry awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from The Institute of the Motor Industry.

More on studying for a qualification

01What it is

The IMI Level 3 Diploma in Vehicle Parts Competence is an occupational qualification. It develops the skills and knowledge required to participate in motor vehicle parts operations, process orders, and maintain health, safety and security within the transportation maintenance sector.

These are the units The Institute of the Motor Industry registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.

Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with The Institute of the Motor Industry. It does the teaching and the mapping. The Institute of the Motor Industry sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.

How you’d practise it

You don’t watch this. You do it.

You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.

The Coach The Coach · your practice partner Illustration

  • Pitch it Evaluate

    “Competency in Maximising Product Sales In A Vehicle Parts Operation” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.

  • Draft the real one Create

    You do “Competency in Identifying and Reporting Security Risks within a Vehicle Parts Environment” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.

  • Map a live decision Analyse

    “Competency in Entering and Finding Data Using Information Technology Within A Vehicle Parts Environment” runs on a decision you are facing now. Zavmo maps it with you and shows what the second-order effect looks like before you find out the slow way.
