BCA relaunches vehicle appraisal training programme

15 August 2023  

A vehicle appraisal training programme has been relaunched by BCA with new content for 2023. Aimed at independent dealers as well as retail groups, the course shows how to carry out standardised appraisals.

Participants are taken through internal and external vehicle appraisals in detail, covering defects and faults and how they can affect grading and valuation, as well as the specifics of BCA Dealer Pro Training can be performed by BCA trainees on-site, at selected BCA locations nationwide – or via Microsoft Teams.

Commenting on the course relaunch, BCA COO Stuart Pearson said: “The BCA Appraisal Training courses are unique within the motor industry, delivering a hands-on, tried and tested approach to managing the part-exchange process through a standardised interior and exterior vehicle inspection, while identifying basic vehicle faults and how they impact the vehicle valuation.”

He added “The course covers basic refurbishment methods and current government requirements for road legal vehicles – useful background knowledge for anybody involved in the vehicle appraisal and part-exchange process. This knowledge, when combined with the BCA Dealer Pro tool gives our customers a step up on the competition when valuing their vehicles, allowing them to make informed decisions into which remarketing channel will maximise their sales potential.”
