The MOT Training Providers Association (MTPA) is a members-only organisation representing the UK’s leading MOT training providers.

We represent a collective of MOT training providers and engage with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) — the organisation responsible for setting the annual MOT tester training curriculum — to help inform and align training content with DVSA requirements.

Our Purpose

The MTPA was founded to bridge the gap between regulator and provider.

By bringing the UK’s most respected MOT training organisations together, the Association helps align training content with DVSA requirements – ensuring MOT testers nationwide receive accurate, relevant, and compliant training.

Our Story

The idea for the MTPA took shape in mid-2025 after ongoing discussions within the MOT training community highlighted the need for clearer industry representation. During routine engagement with DVSA officials on matters relating to the annual MOT Tester Curriculum, it became evident that training providers lacked a unified, independent forum to express concerns and share best practice.

Recognising this gap, several established MOT training organisations began collaborating to create a dedicated trade association focused on raising standards, improving consistency, and supporting compliant delivery across the sector.

The MOT Training Providers Association was formally established later that year, with a commitment to constructive engagement with regulators, industry bodies, and stakeholders. The first scheduled meeting between the MTPA and DVSA officials is anticipated for December 2025, marking an important step in improving dialogue and shared understanding across the MOT training landscape.
