Training for Engineers

The Candidates’ Study Handbook has been written exclusively to support candidates taking the practical and written assessments. Unlike most of the other training that CITO provide, the City & Guilds in Caravan Service Engineering programme is not face-to-face and, therefore, the study of the material for the assessments is entirely down to the candidate to learn. This study guide is designed to help you focus and prepare for these assessments.

The CITO Quality Training Mark (QTM) is now available to Workshops and Mobile Service Technicians who have completed their core competency training through CITO.

City & Guilds - Examination in Caravan Service Engineering

Touring caravans and motorhomes are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and customers have even higher expectations of the level of service engineers' competency. CITO provide the only industry specific City & Guilds qualification, designed to assess and formally recognise the abilities of touring caravan and motorhome service engineers.

Electrical Training For Service Engineers

Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, all employers have a duty to ensure that employees are competent to carry out any electrical duties expected of them. The National Caravan Council has defined the competencies necessary for electrical inspection and test of touring caravans and motorhomes as part of a standard service.

Gas Competence

Where Gas Safe (formally known as CORGI) registration is not required i.e. work is only on tourers and motorhomes which are NOT hired out in the course of business, Caravan Industry Training has negotiated with the certification body UK Certification Ltd to deliver a competence based training and assessment course aimed specifically at the requirements of caravan workshops. This is an ACoP industry qualification.

service technicans handbook

The handbook has been produced to accompany the City & Guilds examination in Caravan Service Engineering and sits alongside the Approved Workshop Scheme’s “Standard Working Procedures”, and therefore it also provides everyday reference material for workshop and mobile service technicians.
