The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) is the UK’s leading professional body for individuals working in the automotive sector. It develops nationally recognised qualifications, professional standards and accreditation programmes to help technicians, managers and employers maintain the highest levels of competence and professionalism.

As an IMI Approved Training Centre, RMT Automotive Training delivers industry-recognised qualifications and specialist technical training that meet the latest industry standards. Whether you’re developing your skills in MOT testing, automotive diagnostics, ADAS calibration or air conditioning, IMI qualifications provide employers with confidence that your knowledge and practical skills have been independently assessed.

IMI TechSafe™ is a professional accreditation scheme designed to demonstrate competence when working on electric and hybrid vehicles. As these vehicles become increasingly common, employers and customers want reassurance that technicians have the appropriate knowledge and safety awareness.

Holding IMI TechSafe recognition helps demonstrate your commitment to safe working practices and ongoing professional development. It can also improve career opportunities and provide employers with confidence that technicians are competent to work safely on modern vehicle technologies.

RMT Automotive Training combines decades of real-world workshop experience with industry-recognised, IMI-approved technical training. Unlike many training providers, we don’t just teach the theory—we supply, install, service and calibrate professional garage equipment used in workshops throughout the UK.

Our practical courses are delivered using industry-leading equipment from manufacturers including Ravaglioli, MAHLE Brain Bee, Pico Technology and M&B Engineering, giving technicians valuable hands-on experience with the latest workshop technology.

As an IMI Approved Training Centre, we deliver high-quality qualifications and specialist training in MOT testing, automotive diagnostics, ADAS calibration, air conditioning, wheel alignment, automatic transmission fluid service and other advanced technical subjects. We can also develop bespoke IMI-approved training programmes tailored to the needs of individual workshops and organisations.

Whether you’re looking to develop a single technician or upskill an entire workforce, RMT Automotive Training provides the practical knowledge, industry expertise and professional support to help your business keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving automotive industry.

An IMI qualification is a nationally recognised award that confirms you have successfully completed a structured programme of learning and assessment.

An IMI accreditation recognises that you have demonstrated competence against specific industry standards, often through practical assessment and evidence of existing skills and experience.

Both qualifications and accreditations are highly valued within the automotive industry. At RMT Automotive Training, we offer a range of IMI-approved qualifications and accreditation routes to help technicians develop their careers and demonstrate professional competence.
