Graham Stoakes - AAE MIMI  QTLS

Pro-Moto Europe

I am currently contracting for Pro-Moto Europe, delivering qualifications based on electric vehicle safety, diagnosis, maintenance and repair.
Having left school at the age of 16, I began my motor-vehicle career as a trainee commercial vehicle technician for a Ford main agent.
After this initial year, I moved into the light vehicle sector to complete my apprenticeship with an independent garage.  During this period, I was a national finalist for the Road Transport Industry Training Board (RTITB) junior mechanic of the year. 
Following the completion of my apprenticeship, I continued with the same organisation, developing my skills as a diagnostic technician, specialising in light vehicle management systems, electrics and electronics.  During this period I also became a qualified motorcycle technician and VOSA nominated tester for cars and motorcycles.
 After 17 years at the same company, and working my way through to senior management, I left to become an instructor of motor vehicle technology with an independent training provider.  Here I developed my training skills, and taught for organisations such as Mercedes-Benz.
​I was part of the diagnostic Pathfinder program, delivering training on behalf of, Snap-on diagnostics, the Institute of the motor industry, bluecycle and autodata.
For nearly 20 years I worked for further education colleges as a lecturer in motor vehicle technology; teaching all levels, from one to four.
I am a specialist diagnostic trainer, designing and delivering programs in areas such as, light vehicle air conditioning, electrics, electronics and diagnostics.
