IMI Accreditation in automotive glazing
IMI Accreditation is an industry-wide scheme that identifies technicians who have proven their current competence and signed up to a professional code of conduct, administered by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI).
There are over 40,000 automotive technicians in the UK who have achieved IMI Accreditation in many different areas of expertise. It has the backing and participation of all major vehicle manufacturers, body repairers, independent service and repair and roadside breakdown organisations.
