The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) has announced plans to launch a public-facing register for automotive professionals in April 2013.

The register will act as a voluntary license, and will allow members of the public to search for qualified and accredited individuals in the industry.

In preparation for the register, the IMI has spent the past year developing a portfolio of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) partnerships to ensure professionals have access to quality training, and recently formally recognised three training courses run by GMAC.

The professional register is part of IMI’s attempt to increase consumer confidence, as Linda Stansfield, chief operating officer at IMI, noted: "With continually complex, evolving technology and changes in the core make up of vehicles today, it is vitally important to note that there is a commitment from all registered professionals to understand and keep pace with these changes."
