Application Process
Apply through Generation Apprenticeship.
NB: You do not apply to GMIT to register for an apprenticeship course. The relevant employer registers applicants as an apprentice. After that, SOLAS will notify you of where and when your off-the-job training will take place.
The Motor Mechanics apprenticeship is a great way to acquire the practical skills required in the automotive industry, whilst allowing you to earn while you learn.
Apprenticeship programmes are demand driven, meaning the skills you acquire on an apprenticeship programme are relevant to the needs of the industry and labour market.
Many learners thrive using the hands-on, learn-by-doing approach of apprenticeship training. The class contact for the Motor Mechanics Phase 4 course is 35 hours per week. Approximately 50% of your time will be spent in a classroom environment, where you will build upon the motor vehicle theory you learnt in Phase 2. The other 50% of your time will be spent in the motor mechanic garage, where you will have the opportunity to re-enforce what you learn in the classroom environment using automotive equipment.
For further information on Motor Mechanics apprenticeships, contact your local Education and Training Board or visit the Generation Apprenticeship website (www.apprenticeship.ie).
