I-CAR Australia Gold Class Coordinator Gary Wood has announced that Gold Coast Collision Centre, Queensland, has been awarded the prestigious I-CAR Gold Class Collision status. (Gold Coast Collision Centre recently won the national Paint & Panel Bodyshop Award for best Boutique shop).
“It is a credit to Gold Coast Collision Centre that they have completed the training required to achieve the I-CAR Gold Class accreditation in such a short period of time. Participating in virtual classroom training, I-CAR steel welding certification and ITA training with their refinish company has displayed their commitment to training, ensuring that all staff members are equipped with the most up to date knowledge required to safely repair today’s vehicles,” said Wood.
Director Daniel Leishman said: “We are immensely proud to have reached Gold Class status. Our staff have embraced a learning culture with an enthusiasm towards future training. By developing a strong relationship with I-CAR and other industry training alliances we are ensuring we are up to date with the latest in technological advancements and safety developments, to ensure a complete and safe repair for each and every vehicle.
"All roles throughout the business have greatly benefited from the range of training made available by I-CAR from accurate estimating, structural training, including welding certification, and refinish. The ability to train online and through other training alliances such as PPG, Car-O-Liner and 3M have assisted us to reach our goal of Gold Class Accreditation. We look forward to a continued partnership with I-CAR,” Leishman said.
