About The Role
Step out of the workshop and into a role that values your expertise and experience, offers good work-life balance, offers deep satisfaction and supports your professional growth!
Bendigo Kangan Institute’s Automotive Centre of Excellence (ACE) is seeking experienced and highly skilled Sessional Licensed Vehicle Testing (LVT) Teachers to deliver training within the VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester programs. As the only institution in Victoria offering the full spectrum of LVT courses, ACE holds a prestigious reputation in the industry. To maintain this standing, we are committed to building a team of expert trainers.
In this role, you will deliver training in one or more of the following:
- Light Vehicle Testing (monthly for 6 days)
- Heavy Vehicle Testing (every other month for 6 days)
