Vehicle KnowledgeAlthough no formal qualifications exist for this job, an understanding of vehicle systems and technology is important.

A bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a vocational qualification in auto engineering provides essential vehicle knowledge. Experience as a mechanic also builds understanding of vehicle systems
Driving SkillsTest drivers must have good driving skills to handle vehicles safely under demanding conditions. To test factors such as steering, braking and handling, they must be able to drive at high speeds and carry out tests on twisting circuits that push vehicles to the limit. Testing off-road SUVs, for example, requires skills in climbing and descending steep hill circuits or driving in icy or extremely muddy conditions. Drivers who test high-performance sports cars must be able to drive safely at high speeds. Experience in autosports provides good preparation for test driving.Testing ExperienceTest drivers can build their vehicle testing experience by working as automotive correspondents for newspapers or specialist magazines. Correspondents write reviews of new cars, and they may get an opportunity to test-drive the cars if manufacturers supply models to publications for short-term evaluation or invite journalists to new-car launch events. Writing new-car reviews helps would-be test drivers understand critical performance factors and get a feel for the comparative performance of different vehicles.
