Year on year, the number of irtec inspection technician assessments is doubling at Bristol vocational college S&B Automotive Academy, according to operations director Richard Belton. He forecasts that 2023 could end up as a bumper year with four times as many candidates as 2022. A lot of the bigger transport operators are being asked for it by their customers, he reports. The inspection technician qualification shows that a technician is competent to carry out a safety inspection or preventive maintenance inspection (PMI) to the MOT standard. SOE president John Eastman observes: "The quality of maintenance and repair depends on PMIs. That's the bit that determines what needs doing, so is key to preventive maintenance. "Inspection technicians check the maintenance and physical capability [of the vehicle] to go on the road. They are trained to be methodical and to go round and make sure that they don't miss anything." |
