Driving Skills.
Shaping Futures.

S&B Automotive Academy has been supporting the automotive industry by training apprentices since 1970, and is now one of the UK’s largest automotive apprenticeship providers.

We offer a wide range of programmes for learners aged 16 and over, from Heavy Vehicle and Autocare Technician apprenticeships to Business Academy pathways in customer service, administration, and team leadership.

We also support employers with commercial training for qualified staff, including IMI, EV, and MOT accreditations tailored to the industry’s evolving needs.

Partnering with businesses of all sizes, we help bridge the gap between education and the automotive workforce - whether you're developing new talent, or upskilling your team.

Where Innovation Meets Industry Standards

At S&B Automotive Academy, we believe that world-class training requires a world-class environment. Our purpose-built facilities bridge the gap between the classroom and the professional workshop, ensuring our learners are workplace-ready from day one.

Unlike many training providers, we have the specialised space and equipment to accommodate large-scale vehicles. Our dedicated bays for Heavy Vehicle (HV) and Bus & Coach courses allow students to work on full-sized fleets in a real-world setting.

Our professional-grade paint spray booths and preparation areas allow learners to master the art of refinishing and respraying using industry-standard materials.

Our workshops are equipped with the latest diagnostic technology, ensuring students are experts in the complex electronic systems of modern vehicles.

We aim to provide a training environment so authentic that the transition from our academy to the workplace is seamless. Whether you’re an apprentice starting your journey or an employer looking to upskill your team, our facilities provide the space, tools, and technology to drive your career forward.
