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 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**

- 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.
