Why take the assessment?

The assessment provides evidence to both an employer and their customers that a service technician is competent and performs to a recognised standard of work.  The syllabus follows the minimum service that should be carried out on a touring caravan or motorhome, according to industry best practice.  Achieving the award demonstrates commitment to ensuring that work carried out meets customers’ increasing expectations.  The Award is a requirement of the Approved Workshop Scheme.

What is involved?

The qualification consists of a practical observation of a service being carried out at one of our approved assessment centres (unless agreed for an on-site assessment) and a multiple choice online exam to make sure that candidates understand the theory behind industry standards.  Modules include gas, electricity, health & safety, damp testing and other topics.

Both the practical and the written assessments examine the candidate on their knowledge, the competence of their everyday work and conformity to health & safety requirements.

What happens when I pass the assessment?

Having achieved a successful pass in both parts of the assessment, the candidate will receive the NCC Caravan Service Engineering Award in either Motorhome or Combined achievements.  These awards are fully compliant with the AWS scheme requirements.
