Holmes Panel and Paint located at Raceview in Queensland has been awarded the prestigious I-CAR Gold Class Collision status.
“The Road to Gold Program suited our business as a means to keep up-to-date with the latest repair considerations and technological advances. It was an extension of our commitment to instil a learning culture throughout our business as we recognise the value of investing in the ongoing development of our talents,” said Matt Bryan, owner of Holmes Panel and Paint.
“The online delivery method available for the I-CAR training is convenient and provides us with the ability to train multiple staff concurrently and in a relaxed setting. As a result, our team was engaged in their learning and were in an environment where they felt open to discuss the topics in further detail. We are very proud of the growth mindsets displayed by our team in their commitment to the ongoing learning and development of their skills.
"The ability to utilise the option of onsite training and assessment from BASF was of particular benefit for our paint team as they were able to receive their training and assessment without the need to be offsite.
"With the smash repair industry’s rapidly evolving new technological and material advances, the ongoing Gold Class training will make certain our team is well positioned to increase our knowledge and capabilities ensuring we remain competitive and can deliver the highest quality industry standards for our clients. In particular with the emergence of electric vehicles, we plan to provide our staff with ongoing training in this area to ensure we are kept at the forefront of the latest vehicle and repair trends,” Bryan said.
