Northern General Bodyworks, part of the Western General Bodyworks Group (WGBW) has been awarded I-CAR Gold Class Collision status.
“Our business has experienced a significant improvement since participating in the Road to Gold training. Far from just scratching the surface of technical information, it provides detailed in-depth content of a constantly evolving industry. The practical content can be applied immediately, whether it's understanding advanced repair technologies or why modern materials are being used - the training is there for you. It boosted the team morale and our skills improved significantly, ensuring our repairs meet OEM standards at the highest level. Achieving Gold Class Accreditation isn't just a badge it's a paradigm shift in the business,” said Danny Buzadzic, Director of WGBW Group.
“The team's feedback on training has been awesome. The self-paced online courses offered flexible learning for the team to complete at their convenience. In addition, the after-hour afternoon virtual classroom sessions allowed our team members to tackle learning while still ensuring their day-to-day work was completed. The hands-on certification was a real bonus in revealing the team’s dedication and skills." he said.
"They're loving the continuous learning and personal development, and it's showing in their work. Job satisfaction is through the roof. So, in a nutshell, the Gold Class is a win-win. Happy team, happy shop."
"The organisation of training was a bit like a puzzle - fun but tricky. The online courses were a smooth ride, but virtual classrooms and hands-on certification require some dedicated scheduling. We managed to keep the team motivated in training and with empowering and supportive teamwork, here we are in reaching Gold Class.”
"Congratulations to Northern General Bodyworks for joining the growing number of businesses that have recognised the benefits of cultivating a learning culture in the workplace for their staff members, customers, and the entire business. It is wonderful to see the team use a combination of training delivery methods to train. The Gold Class accreditation and their positivity towards training places them in a very strong position to overcome the challenges presented by the rapidly evolving body repair industry," said an I-CAR spokesperson.
