WELCOME

Apprentices are selected for the Mazda Apprentice Training Program after they have been nominated by a Mazda Dealership. To be accepted into the program, the applicant must meet the following criteria:

• Must be employed as an Apprentice at a Mazda Dealership and aged no less than 17 years old at the commencement of training
• Must have completed a minimum Year 10 (or equivalent) at Secondary School
• Must complete an online application
• Must pass the Mazda pre-selection assessment (refer to the LL&N policy & procedure)
• Applicants may also be interviewed by an MTTA Trainer by phone or in person as part of the application pre-selection process.

Once the student has been adequately informed about the course (as per the entry requirements), the potential student may complete and submit an Enrolment Form along with the Privacy Statement & Student Declaration. The submission of the enrolment form does not guarantee acceptance to the course.

An MTTA representative will confirm that the student is eligible for enrolment by checking if eligibility is required for entry into the course:

• Eligibility requirements
• USI requirements
• Student Declarations
• LLN requirements

MTTA's representative will also explain the Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) processes and requirements and assist the student to make an application if required

Once the enrolment is approved, details of the enrolment will be confirmed and the student will be notified in writing via an Enrolment Confirmation Letter

Obtaining a Unique Student Identifier (USIs)

On application/enrolment, the students will be asked to obtain and supply a unique student identifier. This will be achieved by the students entering their Unique Student Identifier (USI) into MTTA's online application tool (VETenrol), which also contains instructions on how to obtain the identifier.

NOTE: If you have not yet obtained a USI you can apply for it directly at https://www.usi.gov.au/students/how-do-i-create-usi on a computer or mobile device.

Please see the instructions in the 'Application User Guide' on One.Mazda to link your USI to the training provider.

MTTA is committed to providing an engaging, positive and productive training and learning experience. We work closely with our Dealerships to develop and deliver customised training, specific to each organisation. A blending-learning mode of delivery is utilised which includes online virtual-classes, self-directed learning activities supported by face-to-face practical learning and assessment activities at our training facilities. For individual apprentices attending our training facilities, a range of training methods are used including trainer presentations, small group work, practical demonstrations and hands-on activities. We encourage the apprentice to be actively involved in the learning process and make the most of their time with our highly experienced and knowledgeable trainers.

As part of MTTA entry requirements to this course, all learners must be:

• Employed in a work environment which supports the application of the theory and skills required in this qualification
• The training is delivered over 36 months.

This schedule allows for sufficient time for practice and consolidation in the workplace of the skills introduced at the training session and completion of the workplace based projects and other assessment tasks.

Assessment is about gathering evidence which demonstrates the skills and knowledge the learner has acquired and may include any combination of the options outlined below:

• question and answer to show the learner’s knowledge (these may be completed either written or verbally)
• multiple choice assessment to show the student’s knowledge (these may be completed either written or electronically)
• practical demonstrations of skills (observed over time directly by the assessor)

The workplace contribution will include:

• Providing opportunities for the apprentice to practice required skills

Learners are informed of the assessment requirements in general at the commencement of the program. The specific assessment requirements are discussed at the individual training sessions and the learner is supplied with assessment documents with details of the tasks to be completed including the Assessor observation report.

The document includes the assessor observation report so the learner is well prepared for a demonstration. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts.

No part of this qualification is assessed in the workplace.

Further training pathways from this qualification include:

• AUR40216 Certificate IV in Automotive Mechanical Diagnosis
