What are the Requirements to Become a Motor Vehicle Inspector?

Keep The Roads Safe: Become a Motor Vehicle Inspector

Perhaps because cars are so ingrained in the American culture, few of us view them realistically. We recognize intellectually that motor vehicles are large, sensitive, and dangerous metal creations, but on a day-to-day basis we typically think of them as ordinary and necessary parts of life. Not getting lulled into this false sense of security governs the work of those employed as motor vehicle inspectors. Motor vehicle inspectors use a variety of devices and manual tests to evaluate the safety of vehicles and ensure that they meet governmental regulations and safety standards. If you enjoy working with your hands and communicating with others, and would like a job that keeps our roads safer, this may be an excellent career fit for you.

Requirements to Become a Motor Vehicle Inspector

The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that most vehicle safety specialists get their training through a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job experience. A few options to consider are:
  • Attending vocational school or community college: Most employers regard the successful completion of a vocational training program in automotive service technology as excellent preparation for aspiring motor vehicle inspectors. Associate's degree programs offer well-rounded general education with a focus on automotive maintenance and take about two years to complete, while vocational programs feature more intensive training that lasts from six months to one year.
  • Becoming certified: Though not mandatory, many employers prefer motor vehicle inspectors who hold some kind of certification.
  • Getting an entry-level job: One of the most common and effective ways to learn this trade is through hands-on experience.
