Automotive Skills

Automotive Skills Limited is an English registered charity and one of 25 Sector Skills Councils [http://www.sscalliance.org/] (SSC), responsible for the retail motor industry, awarded a licensed by the then secretary of state at the Department for Education and Skills, the Rt Hon Charles Clarke MP, in February 2004 [http://www.automotiveskills.org.uk/auto/docs/Licence%20Release.pdf] .

The SSC suffered a fraud at the hands of its finance manager, which was discovered in 2006 [http://www.lynnnews.co.uk/news?articleid=2939241] . Subsequently, Automotive Skills' SSC license was transferred to the Institute of the Motor Industry in September 2007 [http://www.motor.org.uk/news/articles/imi-will-focus-on-five-big-wins-as-the-new-sector-skills-council-331.html] [http://www.motortrader.com/25831/IMI-named-as-government-sector.ehtml] . The Institute uses the Automotive Skills brand, although the separate charity still exists [http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/registeredcharities/showcharity.asp?remchar=&chyno=1015461] .

The SSC had a contract with the Sector Skills Development Agency (SSDA) [http://www.ssda.org.uk/] , which was replaced by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) [http://www.ukces.org.uk/] on 1st April 2008. One role of the UKCES will be to manage the performance of the Sector Skills Councils, advising Ministers on their re-licensing [http://www.ukces.org.uk/Default.aspx?page=1] .
