The first round of the annual Top Technician contest is over and the national skills competition has its first stage winners – 23 technicians from all corners of the UK working within dealer and independent workshops have scored well enough to access the advanced second stage assessment.
The ten techs who come out on top of the next round will be invited to the Top Technician 2015 semi-finals which this year take place at GTG in Wolverhampton on March 27th.
Congratulations to the hundreds of you who took part in the initial stage, it was a closely fought battle for the top 20 places, so close in fact that we have 23 techs going on to the advanced second stage online test this year.
