How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- 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.
- 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.
This qualification is for individuals managing MOT test centres. It includes understanding quality systems, staff development, legislative compliance, and customer service within the transportation 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.

The credits, and who awards them
