You will be working in a busy BMW/MINI Parts Department. Parts Advisor specific duties include:

All Aftersales Customer Service (Parts Advisor) Trainees attend the BMW Group Academy UK in Berkshire for their off-the-job training. The apprenticeship will have a strong focus on the retail environment and the high customer service expectations of BMW & MINI customers, as well as Service Advisor specific training. The training takes place over a 12 month period at the BMW Group Academy and has been designed to suit both Parts and Service Advisor roles.

During the time spent at your BMW Retailer, a mentor will be allocated to oversee the work-based learning programme. A BMW representative will also visit on a 12 weekly basis to set performance targets and ensure any development needs are being met.

- To be honest and trustworthy with a willingness to learn.
- To have a positive attitude and work ethic, with high level of professionalism to represent the BMW/MINI brand.
- To be able to work effectively as part of a team in a busy parts department, as well as having the capability to follow instructions and work individually.

**Desired qualifications**
- English
- Maths

**Future prospects**

On successful completion of the apprenticeship, you will be a qualified Parts Advisor. You will also gain a Level 2 Customer Service Practitioner. Following this, there are various opportunities for progression within the Retailer.

**Things to consider**

Successful applicants must be prepared to travel to the BMW Group Academy in Berkshire to complete their apprenticeship training. Training is completed in one-week blocks approximately once every two months as well as virtual classroom training online.

All training costs are covered by the BMW Retailer (travel, accommodation and food).

The body training facility is located in Milton Keynes.
