Apprenticeships Online

For panel-beaters and spray-painters anywhere. Government funding is currently available in QLD and SA. All other States, applications for funding are in progress.

To accommodate the ever changing needs of modern Collision Repairers, the Automotive Academy offers a new and more efficient way to train apprentices. We believe that better training in less time can be achieved with this method and the advantages for both the employer and the apprentice are obvious.

  • Less time away from home.
  • More time on the workshop floor.
  • No travel or accommodation costs.
  • Personalised, one on one gap training (only learn what you don’t know).
  • Minimal work interruption.
  • Sign up and commence training at any time of the year.

Mentor Course

Mentor Course

Years ago the Master passed his skills, knowledge and experiences to the apprentice and they often formed a livelong bond.

The Mentor Course aims to restore this concept in a modern way, suitable for today’s apprentices and business needs.

Mentoring an apprentice is very rewarding personally and also for the business financially. Properly guided apprentices learn quicker, produce more and in addition, you or your business will be paid for each completed competency.

Advanced Nationally Accredited Qualifications

We are currently developing a nationally accredited course for collision repairers to advance their level of expertise. To our knowledge this qualification is not offered by any other Accredited Training Provider and it is a first in Australia. This course is suitable for both spray painters as well as panel beaters and you learn additional trade skills. The course curriculum is not set and you are invited to choose from a bank of competencies to suit you and we are happy to assist you in this process. The Certificate IV in Automotive (AUR40205) requires 10 competencies and depending on your experience, some of these units can be RPL, meaning, we can assess if you have sufficient experience to fulfill the criteria without training. If this sounds like a course that interests you, contact us and we will let you know as soon the course is offered.

 

 

 

All these courses can be accessed online anywhere in Australia
