About the Role

The Kia Academy offers a bespoke apprenticeship programme that focuses on education in electrification, delivered at the Kia Academy in Derby. Kia Apprentices will obtain the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to not only become an expert Kia Technician but also ensure they have a successful career with Kia whilst maximising personal growth.

  • Servicing - working to manufacturer servicing guidelines to ensure the vehicle running at optimum performance
  • Maintenance - replacing parts that have wear and tear before they fail
  • Repair - diagnosing the reason for vehicle failure and fixing the problem

Shadowing qualified Kia Technicians in the workshop to understand and learn how to carefully service and diagnose repair/faults for customer vehicles 

If you do not currently have a Level 2 Autocare qualification, Skillnet will support you to achieve this as part of your apprenticeship programme.

A full-time career within the automotive industry with many opportunities to progress to positions of responsibility including a Service Manager, Master Technician and Dealership Principles.

The opportunities are endless. By having a highly regarded set of skills, apprentices can go on to develop their careers within the specific interests they may have.
