What it takes to become a Suzuki apprentice. What we’re looking for from our potential new recruits:
Are willing to provide an excellent service to our customers. Do you work well as part of a team? • Do you have a passion for cars, bikes or ATV’s?
Are you committed to a career within this exciting sector engaging with the demands of an ever-advancing technology? Do you have an aptitude for all things mechanical? Do you have GCSE grades 4 or above, demonstrating a good level of knowledge in Maths, English and Science?

LEARNING THE SUZUKI WAY
Training on the Suzuki Advanced Apprenticeship Programme is geared around hands-on practical experience. Here’s what you can expect. As a Suzuki apprentice, your time will be spent working within a Suzuki Dealership alongside experienced staff who will support and encourage you. Working in this environment, you’ll gain the insight and skills knowledge and behaviours in order to achieve the highest of standards.
Training
The programme is delivered using what’s called “a residential block release model”, where you’ll spend a period of time away from the Dealership at our dedicated Training Centre.
Blended learning
You’ll be trained using a variety of different methods – all designed to make the learning both fun and challenging. Suzuki methods and attitudes are taught from the start, with emphasis on the brand experience and customer focus.
Accommodation
Accommodation is provided for by your sponsoring Dealership and is pre-arranged by Suzuki to ensure you also have a great time in the evening while attending training.
Support
As well as support from your Dealership Mentor you’ll be assigned an Apprentice Engagement Coach throughout your time on the programme, so there’s always someone on hand to talk to.
