The IMI Level 2 Award in MOT Testing (Classes 1 and 2) was developed with Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) to provide learners with the knowledge and skills required to perform the MOT Test Routine on mopeds and motorcycles.

Once you have successfully completed and passed this award, the final stage will be to complete a VT8 demonstration MOT test with a DVSA assessor to receive your certificate of competence. This will normally be conducted in your own Vehicle Testing Station (VTS) and successful completion will allow you to commence testing motorcycles with immediate effect.
