Assessment will be either a Recognition of Prior Learning pathway or a Training and Assessment pathway. Students not achieving competency in any of the assessments will be required to undertake another assessment under the terms and conditions of ETEA's reassessment policy.

Further training pathways from this qualification may lead to a relevant Advanced Diploma qualification. In terms of employment, the Diploma of Automotive Management prepares new employees or recognises and develops existing workers performing advanced diagnosis and design tasks in the automotive industry, with job roles including Advanced Diagnostic Technician and Automotive Workshop Manager.
