Morning guys.

I've just been offered a full time position as an mot tester in one of the local garages near me.

What i would like to know is what is the average wage for a mot tester??

I'll be working a 5 and a half day week, 8.30 til 6.

Cheers

RWD Pete

Before i went self employed i were testing mate, £10 per hour which is fair up north

Most MOT testers i know earn average £500/week as they are well worth the money to garages

some variation around the uk, I'm on £350, over 5 days but with a good bonus scheme.

£350 seems low compared to what some have mentioned but some testers I've spoke to in our local area are all on similar

Hi lads, how did you all go about getting your testers licence? Anybody know the cost involved etc?

babscossie

the company i used to work for paid for me to go on the two day course.
iirc it cost them around £500. i could be wrong..... long time ago.

two days, whats involved exactly mate.

babscossie

one and a half days in a class room, then a couple of hours in the workshop being shown how to test a vehicle and then a multiple choice exam for 30 mins.

then you have to book vosa to come to your workplace to see you do a complete test.
