irtec Licence - Technical Staff Competency Assessments

The irtec Licence is a qualification developed for vehicle technicians in the HGV, PCV and trailer sectors. It is a nationally recognised certificate which demonstrates to any employer in the road transport industry that an inspection technician has reached a required standard to undertake vehicle inspections.

Technicians take an online test to assess their irtec Licence underpinning knowledge. If successful, the candidate progresses to a practical skills test on their individual inspection technique. If the candidate passes both tests, they are awarded the irtec Licence and are registered on the IRTE irtec register, for the duration of 5 years.

A requirement of both technical and irtec licensing is that the candidate must have a minimum of 3 years’ experience in the field of servicing and inspection, and on relevant vehicles to which the licence relates.
 

Logistics UK can manage all aspects of the irtec licensing scheme from registration with the IMI to supplying the required IT systems for performing the online underpinning test.
