Most automotive training teaches the technical side. OpesQ trains the people who run the floor. Accredited by the IMI, delivered around the working week, by people who have done the job.
The IMI's own structured automotive management qualification closed to new registrations in 2024. The trade is full of technical and sales courses, and almost nothing for the supervisors and managers who hold a workshop or dealership together. OpesQ fills that gap with accredited line management training made for this industry, not a generic management course with a car on the cover.
Foundation
Twelve taught hours across six connected management themes, built around one realistic automotive business you lead from start to finish. Ends with an 18-question assessment. The fastest way to ground a new floor leader.

The accredited step up from Foundation: the same six themes taken from awareness into workplace practice and judgement, delivered in short modules with work-based tasks between sessions, so managers train without leaving the floor for a week.

What don't we yet understand?
Short sessions spaced across weeks, not one block out of the business. Managers stay on the floor while they train.
Each module pairs with a work-based task, so what is covered on Tuesday is being used by Monday, and the task becomes your evidence.
Delivered by people who have run automotive businesses, so the examples are a workshop and a service desk, not a textbook.
