Apprenticeship Central launch a VDA Apprenticeship Programme - Building the next generation of automotive experts
Vehicle Damage Assessors (VDAs) are the backbone of every successful bodyshop, playing a vital role in ensuring precision, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. At Apprenticeship Central, we believe the time is now to shine a spotlight on the next generation of automotive leaders.
Our VDA Apprenticeship Programme is paving the way for aspiring professionals to step into the industry with the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to lead the charge toward innovation and excellence. After a successful trial phase, we are thrilled to announce that we will soon have a group of quality VDA apprenticeship candidates ready to place into suitable bodyshops.
“We’re excited to unveil the next phase of our apprenticeship offerings,” said Eleanor Baker Barnes, Director at Apprenticeship Central. “Through our Recruit and Retain programmes, our mission is to help equip apprentices with the skills and confidence they need to excel in a rapidly evolving industry while contributing to a more sustainable and innovative future.”
This initiative is designed to address critical skills gaps while fostering a culture of innovation among apprentices. Apprenticeship Central is committed to preparing apprentices not just for their roles today, but for a future filled with opportunity and progress.
“Our apprenticeships are not just about developing skills,” Eleanor added “they are about shaping the leaders of tomorrow’s bodyshop world. The recent changes to Level 2 English and maths qualifications create new opportunities for a wider talent pool and we look forward to welcoming a new wave of apprentices who will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the industry."
Whether you're looking to bring fresh talent into your bodyshop or have existing staff members who want to join our VDA Apprenticeship Programme, we can help. Our programme is designed to support both new and current team members, equipping them with the skills they need to thrive.
