With thirty years experience delivering motor vehicle qualifications, we have amassed a wealth of resources and knowledge and made them available to you via this Hub to access at any time throughout your apprenticeship.

Are you properly equipped?

If you’re just starting out in the world of vehicle maintenance, you’ll need a tool kit. Kits are a cost-effective way to purchase a variety of tools that’ll help you complete the task at hand and to cover things you’ll take on in future.

As a starting point, we recommend the Halfords Essentials 52 Piece Tool Kit. Ideal for small jobs and light maintenance, the set includes a 3/8” drive ratchet, as well as a range of sockets and pliers.

For those at a more advanced stage of their training, we recommend the Halfords 92 Piece Garage Tool Kit. The 72 tooth ratchets require as little as 5 degrees of movement to turn a fastener, and the wide range of 12-point standard sockets (4-19mm), deep sockets (8-17mm) and spark plug sockets make you well-equipped to tackle a number of maintenance jobs.
