I-CAR Australia has announced that the 5 Star Panels group has been awarded I-CAR Gold Class Collision status.
“My staff are my biggest asset, with the growth and success of my business and repair shops depending hugely on the high level of training they received. It was an easy and positive choice to sign up for the Road to Gold program which offered a new and intense approach to learning, while developing new skills and role-specific training for technicians," said Fred Sleman owner of 5 Star Panels with sites in Tullamarine, Airport West and Bacchus Marsh, Victoria.
"All my staff members were happy to be involved in the training program, with most of them proudly trained to the higher level and receiving the Platinum Individual Certificates. It was great to see the team effort, attendance and interest in learning, and the opportunity to update their skills as tradespeople."
"I would highly recommend the I-CAR training program for its high level of role-specific training, accreditation, and insurance company transparency. They are industry professionals with many years of experience and insight. I appreciate the dedication and support of the I-CAR Gold Class administrative assistants and coordinators who provided information about the training platform, courses, materials, and guided us towards achieving the Gold Class status,” Sleman said owner of
“We at 5 Star Panels are proud of our commitment and accomplishment to I-CAR’s Gold Class recognition which provided an added competitive edge in the challenging auto collision repair industry. We also welcome the future ongoing renewal training to keep up with all new technologies, repair techniques and methods, updates, and standards, whilst keeping our customers safe by providing quality repairs and excellent service.”
“5 Star Panels has hit new heights by having all three of their sites attain Gold Class status simultaneously,” says Gary Wood, I-CAR Australia Senior Technical Specialist. “We understand that training takes commitment, so to see the business get behind each technician regardless of location would be very motivating for the students, and inspiring for us too.”
