Vehicle Body Update – April 2013
The committee which cover ‘auto body, refinishing, glazing and trimming’ had their first sector committee meeting on February 21st, at IAG Insurance Building, Sydney.
At the meeting the committee looked at examples of the DRAFT streamlined units of competence and I explained in detail the changes between the current and streamlined model.
The committee had an in-depth look at the streamlined model with discussions around unit format, foundation skills and assessment requirements.
Key changes are the addition of the foundation skills, incorporating the ACSF requirements, the replacement of ‘may include’ to must include in the ‘range of conditions’ and the number of times a trainee is required to successfully complete a unit tasks before competence is given.
The committee was also informed of a National RTO forum program, which was conducted in March; via the forums ASA explained the streamlining, packaging rules and transition and teach out requirements for RTO’s.
A copy the 2013 E-Scan was also tabled for the committee and copies was forwarded to all committee members and everyone on ASA’s data base.
The committee also recommended that a ‘body repair’ and ‘paint refinishing’ ‘skill sets’ be developed for technicians upgrading to AUR12. The skill sets have been developed and approved by the committee and is now in the endorsement process.
The committee was informed that the next meeting will be in Melbourne in early September.
