Manheim Auctions is working in partnership with Leeds College of Technology to ensure all staff are fully qualified and trained to a uniform standard. Around 60 staff have completed a two-day introductory course which will culminate in NVQ level two and three qualifications.

The courses included vehicle contruction, damage assessment, estimating, component identification, paintwork defects and rectification and identification of poor previous work.

Manheim is considering future courses in conjunction with the Vehicle Inspectorate and Thatcham and one on identifying stolen vehicles with the Stolen Vehicle Squad and Accident Investigation Unit.
