There’s still time to enter the ‘Top Technician’ award
■ Technicians from all corners of the UK have been quick to complete the preliminary on-line test paper for ‘Top Technician 2012’. The fi rst wave of entrants to the aftermarket’s most prestigious competition for skilled fault-fi nders-and-fi xers has already demonstrated their keenness to be among the highest scorers and progress to the semi-fi nal heats at Delphi’s Warwick training facility in the new year.
“The cut-off date is February 24th, so there’s still plenty of time for ambitious technicians to throw their hat into the ring and make their bid for the title,” said Top Technician project manager, Nicola St Clair. “It’s a level playing fi eld for every technician who takes up the challenge to win the title and the huge prize fund worth over £10,000 including a tax free sum of £2,500. And one thing’s for certain: there will be a new name on the award in 2012, because for the fi rst time, previous winners are no longer eligible to enter.”
SkillAuto competition
Outstanding automotive technicians who wish to showcase their skills can now put themselves to the test by entering the IMI 2012 SkillAuto competition.
If you have no more than 3 years experience including training and a desire to be the best in your industry, you can enter online now. The competitions are open to technicians working in AutoTech (light vehicle), AutoBody or AutoPaint.
