IMI Accreditations

IMI Accredited Assessment

IMI Accredited Assessment independently validates skills and capability, helping employers, individuals and IMI Approved Centres demonstrate competence against recognised industry standards.

IMI Accredited Assessment

IMI Accredited Assessment is a competency-based accreditation scheme governed by the IMI, the professional body for the automotive sector.

Designed to assess and recognise occupational competence across a range of technical, non-technical and accident repair disciplines, IMI Accredited Assessment provides confidence that individuals have demonstrated the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to perform effectively in their role.

Launching soon, the revised assessment strategy introduces a more flexible approach to assessment delivery, enabling assessment to take place in an IMI Approved Centre or the workplace, while maintaining the quality, consistency and industry recognition expected from IMI accreditation. For more information about the revised IMI Accredited Assessment strategy, please visit our FAQ page.
