Wherever you are in the UK
Trainees come to us from all over the country. There are three ways to take the course, and one of them will suit where you are.
The full face-to-face course, in our West Midlands workshop in Smethwick, on training boards and real vehicles. The centre of the country is the easiest place in it to reach: most of England and Wales is within about three hours.
We deliver the programme at your premises, on your vehicles, anywhere in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, for a travel fee on top of the package price. It suits garages, dealerships and fleets who would rather not lose people to travel.
The online self-study course — all 62 modules, the knowledge checks and the theory examination — from anywhere in the UK, for £995. Theory only: the practical training and the certificate need the face-to-face course.
Smethwick is on the edge of Birmingham, close to the M5 and a short train ride from Birmingham New Street. Free parking on site.

Training runs over several days, so most people from further away stay nearby. Birmingham has hotels at every price, a short journey from the centre. Tell us when you enquire and we'll plan the days around your travel.
No. Trainees come from across the UK. The training centre is in Smethwick, on the edge of Birmingham, which is within about three hours of most of England and Wales by train or road. If travelling isn't practical, we can come to you, or you can take the online self-study course.
Yes. We deliver the full face-to-face programme at your premises, on your vehicles, anywhere in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. There is a travel fee on top of the package price, which depends on the distance and the number of people training. Tell us where you are and we'll quote it.
The course runs over several days of workshop training, and the six supervised installations take place across the programme. We plan the days with you when you book, so if you're travelling a long way we can group them to keep the number of trips down.
The Autosecure Elite Training certificate records that you passed our theory examination and a complete independent practical installation, assessed by us. Anyone can check a certificate number on this site. It is our own certificate — it is not a government qualification, and the course does not by itself give you an industry accreditation such as TASSA.
No. Many people fly into Birmingham Airport for the training days, or we can come to you. The online course is there if you want the theory on its own, at home.
We'll tell you the best way to train from there, what the travel involves, and the next available start.
