MOT Tester Training Agency

Training for the MOT testing sector

MOT Tester Training Agency, or MTTA, provides courses for people working toward MOT tester and management qualifications. Its website lists centres in Basingstoke, London, Bolton, Birmingham and Devon. It states clearly that it is a private company rather than a government agency, a useful distinction for anyone comparing training with official DVSA requirements.

Courses and practical steps

The course list includes a Level 3 technician route, MOT tester awards, motorcycle tester classes, centre management, final observation preparation and annual refresher training. There is also a hybrid vehicle course and a package combining technician and MOT manual work. The site provides help articles on inspection manuals, uploading a certificate to an MTS account, booking a DVSA demonstration test and finding defects in the MOT system. Those materials serve learners who need to connect a classroom course to the administrative and practical parts of testing.

Choosing a course

A headline promotion advertises MOT courses from GBP 999, but the course menu contains different packages and durations. Prospective trainees should confirm prerequisites, accreditation, assessment arrangements and exact fees for the particular course and centre. MTTA also offers a helpdesk, a shop and an enquiry form. The published contact hours apply to its office rather than to the hours of every training session.
