Autotech Training appoints Walsh as MOT chief

Autotech Training has appointed Rob Walsh as the company’s new head of MOT.

In his new position, Walsh will oversee the delivery of Autotech Training’s MOT course offering, from MOT Training & Assessment through to MOT Tester and MOT Manager courses.

Walsh will also spearhead the growth of the company’s VTS Compliance Audits and Quality Assurance offering, which aims to help testing stations remain DVSA compliant, running efficiently and profitably, while interpreting its MOT data effectively.

Prior to joining Autotech Training, Walsh spent over 8 years as an AA breakdown patrol, and an automotive technician for the Specialist Cars Group which will support his ability to shape Autotech Training’s MOT course offering.

“Having a technical background certainly supports my ability to lead the MOT Training offering and I am committed to channelling this experience into the role and supporting the industry,” said Walsh. “Vehicle Testing Sites are today under increased pressure as the DVSA are scrutinising digital MOT data and, in order to remain compliant, a site and its testers need to understand how to interpret their data and spot any red flags quickly. Keeping on top of training and assessments, while ensuring any MOT Manager holds the most current qualification will also play a vital role in this too.”
