Inspection Technician Large Commercial Vehicle (IRTEC)
WHAT IS IRTEC?
IRTEC is recognition of an individual’s current competence, and their commitment to an ethical code of conduct in the commercial vehicle, trailer and passenger carrying vehicle industries.
Technicians who take irtec assessments are tested on their theoretical and practical skills and, if successful, are awarded an IRTEC licence. An IRTEC licence certifies the individual rather than the employer and as irtec is based on current competence, licence`s expire after five years.
The accreditation provides a national benchmark of skill which may be used to identify training needs and also in the recruitment of technicians. IRTEC can be used by individuals and employers as a recognised development path to allow technicians to further their skills and knowledge in the subsector in which they operate. Employers can be confident that technicians are fairly but rigorously assessed through the Quality Assurance of a nationally recognised Awarding Organisation, thus providing consistency of the assessment process.
irtec is delivered by a partnership that includes IRTE (Institute of Road Transport Engineers), The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) and IMI Awards.
*Duration - 2 days for accreditation or 1 day for re-accreditation (no theory training for reaccreditation although some prefer the 2 days to brush up on the theory)
Entry requirements
The minimum entry requirement is 3 years' industrial experience or a Level 2 S/NVQ (or equivalent qualification) plus at least one year's experience in a relevant industrial environment.
Assessment
In order to achieve an irtec licence, a technician must first pass an Under Pinning Knowledge (theory) test consisting of 50 questions at an IMI approved assessment centre; 35 questions will be of a technical content whilst 15 questions will be legislation related. Once you have completed the Under Pinning Knowledge test you have to successfully complete the practical assessment.
Progression
Once accredited, irtec technicians agree to abide by the irtec code of conduct, receive a licence card, certificate and are placed on the irtec technicians register.
