- Importantly, make sure each Tester checks that their exam result has successfully uploaded to their DVSA MTS Profile. Site Manager can check this too.

The MOT Club SiteCheck compliance website and eLearning can help Dealer Groups and Independent garages manage this process effectively.
How does SiteCheck help:
- It automatically sends out the required eLearning to each of your Testers.
- It sends out reminders every month to encourage the tester to complete the training.
- You can monitor each tester’s progress using the training dashboard in SiteCheck and download reports for more detailed analysis.

- The exam result is recorded in SiteCheck so you can review progress using the dashboards.
