Strategic Purpose Statement |
The National Certificate in Automotive refinishing is designed for people who are in the Automotive Refinishing sector of the motor industry. It is also for those wishing to maintain standards in the Automotive Refinishing industry and to provide a means of recognising prior learning for those already in the industry.
A number of unit standards within this qualification are also included in the National Certificates in Motor Industry (Panelbeating) and (Coachbuilding). This reflects the national standards required by industry, and enables trainees to transfer their achievements to those qualifications. Holders of this national certificate are able to: work in a safe and professional manner, prepare metal and painted surfaces for painting, masking for priming and for the application of two pack paints, prime and fill surfaces and mix and match paint to vehicles. They will also be able to remove and replace exterior and interior parts, service a battery and carry out safety precautions associated with the industry, meet customers and answer the telephone, and to repaint and touch up vehicles in two pack paint, and identify and repair paint defects. The certificate is now linked to an exit point for industry recognition purposes where people will receive a NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation Certificate for credits achieved. Details regarding industry recognition, industry registration, and entry and exit point for the apprenticeship can be obtained from the NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation in the first instance. A record of achievement book will be required by industry trainees for the purposes of recording assessment results and showing progress through the qualification. This certificate is one criterion for registration with the NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation as an Automotive Refinisher and as an A grade Automotive Refinisher. |
