As we are not a full-time provision, there is no legislation or best practice which tells us to become an Ofsted registered provider. In fact, to the contrary on speaking with Ofsted inspectors they have informed us that as a one or two-day provision it is unnecessary. We are however on many local authority approved providers directories and adhere to current safeguarding and recruitment legislation along with having in place robust quality assurance policies and procedures to ensure teaching and delivery is of a good standard and is observed and reviewed in line with awarding bodies, schools and local authority requirements.
Both accredited courses that we offer have a target audience of students aged 14-16 years old. Students under 14 years of age can enrol on the courses however, to be registered to receive the certificate for the Level 1 Award in Motor Vehicle Studies, the student would need to be 14. For the 12-week course and Introduction to Motorsport Engineering Programme any age group of students are welcome to enrol.

Students should bring a packed lunch. For those students who are FSM options can be discussed on enrolment.
To enrol students onto the course we would send you an enrolment package for you to complete, this includes our referral form, health and safety policies and procedures along with safeguarding and quality assurance information.
Unfortunately, we can only offer post 16 placements to those students who receive higher needs funding this tends to be students with EHC plans.
