Our partnered RTOs offer a range of qualifications in automotive body repair and automotive management that can be achieved through RPL assessment. Instead of repeating training you’ve already mastered, RPL recognises your on-the-job learning and formalises it into a qualification that carries weight across Australia.
Through our RPL process, years of panel beating, spray painting, smash repair or workshop management experience can be assessed against real industry standards – from Certificate III in Automotive Body Repair Technology through to Certificate IV and Diploma level qualifications in Automotive Management. There’s no need to sit through training you’ve already lived on the job, which means a faster, more cost-effective path to certification.
Whether you’re behind the tools repairing vehicle bodies, running a smash repair workshop, or managing a dealership or automotive business, a nationally recognised qualification gives your experience something to show for it — better job security, higher earning potential, and a genuine pathway into supervisory or business ownership roles.
We work with RTOs experienced across the automotive body repair and management sector, helping tradespeople and managers alike turn hands-on experience into formal, nationally recognised certification. Start with a free skills assessment to find out which qualification matches the work you’re already doing.
We’ll conduct a free skills assessment to understand your experience and current qualifications. A dedicated consultant is then assigned to guide you through the process and confirm you’re suitable for RPL. From there, you’ll compile a portfolio of supporting evidence — this can include proof of tasks completed on the job, practical demonstrations of your skills, a resume, references, and your current or most recent job description.
Your portfolio demonstrates that you’ve worked in the industry long enough to have the experience and capability the qualification requires. We’ll then connect you with one of our partner RTOs, whose assessor will review your portfolio. If any gaps are identified, the RTO will provide the additional training needed to close them. Once complete, you’re qualified.
