Service Technician Apprenticeship
What does a
Service Technician do?
Working as a Service Technician here at Henrys Skoda is not about grease, overalls and back-street garages. The Service Technicians of today work for ŠKODA retailers, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, in pristine environments.
As a Service Technician you would be responsible for carrying out routine maintenance, and basic repairs as well as identifying and reporting faults on vehicles. At a more advanced level you’ll learn more about complex faults and repair them using sophisticated diagnostic equipment. At a higher level, you could be dealing with the most complex automotive systems as well as leading the workshop and the teams within it. You could also choose to specialise in certain areas. Some examples include; hybrid/electric vehicles, infotainment systems or advanced diagnostics.

Apprenticeship vs University
In today’s climate of budget cuts and the high cost of tuition, the option of going to university and continuing your education may not be the right choice for everyone and a degree may not necessarily be the requirement for many employers where experience and work-based skills are of more value.
An apprenticeship will give you the work experience and qualifications that you need to earn while you learn without racking up debt.
In this competitive marketplace, developing the right skills can help you to get ahead and stay ahead. With an apprenticeship you will be getting a head start in your career with a nationally recognised qualification and employment within ŠKODA.
