Services Agency (VOSA). The visit was organised for the trainee mechanics to
gain an insight into how the department of transport oversees the vehicle MOT
system, and instigates road side inspections for cars and heavy vehicles.
Students took part in a discussion and presentation on the involvement of VOSA in their various rolls as administrators of the MOT test, vehicle inspections, roadside inspections and accident investigations before being shown around a current MOT test on a 7.5 ton commercial vehicle.
Newbury College Motor Vehicle Lecturer, Alistair Napier said, "It was a great honour to be the first College to visit the VOSA centre. The students all thoroughly enjoyed the day, and it gave them an insight into the importance of what the department oversees".
The students were all extremely positive after their visit to VOSA after learning more about an area of motor trade that they were yet to cover.
