Introduction
Give your Level 3 qualified students a paid work placement with a real body shop, a genuine next step after college
Autotech Academy connects newly qualified bodywork technicians with fully paid 6-12 month internships at leading body shops across the UK. Students who have completed their Level 3 qualification and hold a full or provisional driving licence can move directly into a hands-on role with a vetted employer, gaining valuable workshop experience and a clear route to permanent employment.
Why colleges partner with Autotech Academy
We manage the entire placement process and work with colleges nationwide to provide a straightforward, consistent pathway from education into the automotive industry, with many placements leading to permanent roles.
Interns will hone their skills in:
- Panel beating using specialist tools, such as the pin puller
- Applying filler, from heavy to light applications
- Preparing surfaces for detailed paintwork
- Stripping and fitting parts, including door handles, wing mirrors and weather strips
- Masking vehicles for paint application
We work as an extension of your careers team, not a replacement for it, so your students get consistent support from qualification through to their first role.
