What is ATA?
ATA is recognition of the current competence of professionals working in the Retail Motor
Industry and their commitment to an ethical Code of Conduct.
It is governed by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), the professional association and
Sector Skills Council for the Retail Motor Industry.
The route content and structures are constantly reviewed to ensure that they remain current
and support skills needs in the sector.
In order to achieve ATA accreditation, the individual is required to pass a series of practical
skills and knowledge modules at an approved ATA centre. They must agree to and abide by
the ATA Code of Conduct. To maintain their accreditation and prove current competence,
the individual is reassessed every three years.
ATA is available for the following routes:
Air Conditioning
Autoglazing
Cosmetic Repair
Customer Service
Digital Audio Broadcasting
Electric Vehicle
Fast Fit
Light Vehicle Maintenance & Repair
Light Vehicle Inspection Mechanical Electrical Trim
Motorcycle
Paint
Panel
Parts
Roadside Assistance
Vehicle Damage Assessor
Once an individual has passed all of the required Assessed Outcome Modules (AOMs)
within a given route, they will receive an ATA ID Card (photo identity card) which is valid for
three years.

Benefits for individuals and employers
ATA provides reassurance that the skills and knowledge of the accredited individual
have been assessed against the industry agreed standard.
ATA standards are regularly reviewed to align to current technology, methodology
and legislation.
ATA accredited individuals agree to the Code of Conductin doing so, they commit
to working ethically in our industry.
ATA provides a national skills benchmark that can be used fortraining and
recruitment purposes. It is a recognised development path for individuals and
employers alike.
ATA provides a fair but rigorous assessment. Quality Assurance and consistency in
the assessment process are guaranteed using a nationally recognised AwardingOrganisation.
Industry Recognition
ATA accredited individuals will be recognised on a public-facing register.
From April 2013, all industry professionals holding a valid ATA ID Card will automatically be
included on the IMIsProfessional Register.
To find out more visit:
http://imiregister.org.uk/
How does an individual arrange to be assessed?
An individual will need to contact an assessment centre approved to deliver ATA. These can
be found on the Awarding Organisations website:
http://www.imiawards.org.uk
Each centre will provide information regarding their availability to deliver the assessments,
as well as the process and cost involved.

Module Overview
This module is to assess the candidates knowledge, skill and ability to diagnose acomplex chassis electrical fault that is integrated within a vehicle network system. Thecandidate will need to access vehicle information such as component location and theappropriate vehicle electrical wiring diagrams use these together with electrical testequipment such as multi-meter / scan tools to diagnose the system fault. The technicianmust have knowledge and understanding of network communication systems such asCAN, LIN, MOST & Fibre Optics. Once the electrical fault has been diagnosed, thecandidate should have the ability to rectify and then check the system is functioning asper the vehicle manufacturers original specification.
Candidate Profile
The master technician should be working in the light vehicle sector of the industry andideally have at least five years experience to ensure they are familiar with the skills,knowledge and techniques required to diagnose system faults, rectify the faults includingreplacing components and return the vehicle systems to manufacturer specification.They will also require the skills and ability to effectively communicate with internal staff(at all levels), customers and industry organisations to transfer both technical and nontechnical information.

Module Overview
This module is to assess the candidates knowledge, skill and ability to diagnose acomplex driveline fault (i.e. engine management / transmission) that is integrated within avehicle network system. The candidate will need to access vehicle information, such ascomponent location and the appropriate vehicle electrical wiring diagrams, and use thesetogether with electrical test equipment such as multi-meter / scan tools to diagnose thesystem fault. This will include analysing the vehicle data as the self diagnosis informationavailable will not guide the candidate to the fault through prescribed procedures. Thecandidate must have knowledge and understanding of network communication systems
such as CAN, LIN, MOST & Fibre Optics. Once the electrical fault has been diagnosed,the candidate should have the ability to rectify and then check the system is functioningas per the vehicle manufacturers original specification.
Candidate Profile
The master technician should be working in the light vehicle sector of the industry andideally have at least five years experience to ensure they are familiar with the skills,knowledge and techniques required to diagnose system faults, rectify the faults includingreplacing components and return the vehicle systems to manufacturer specification.
They will also require the skills and ability to effectively communicate with internal staff(at all levels), customers and industry organisations to transfer both technical and nontechnical information.
