Welcome to the Vehicle Body Industry Advisory Committee page. This page forms one of several web pages dedicated to different parts of the ASA industry advisory structure.
This page is designed to provide advice to the committee members and stakeholders more broadly on the work of the committee and the anticipated work-plan for the future. It also provides access to the Training Package Continuous Improvement Plans, which are a central element in the work of ASA and its committees.
The committee and ASA welcome feedback from stakeholders and welcome inputs into the development of the national training system and national workforce development initiatives.
Feedback from members of industry to join the Sector Advisory Committees has been very positive and a full meeting of all Committee members is planned for September 2011. Applications for Committee positions has been temporarily limited until the Committees meet and make final decisions of the full requirements of each Committee. Your feedback and continued interest in joining the Committees is welcomed and notice of any additional places that may be available will be provided throughout the year.
Vehicle Body Update – April 5, 2012
The DRAFT qualifications covering auto body repair, panel beating, auto painting, auto glazing and auto trimming are now ‘stand-alone’ qualifications due to the advancement of technology within the respective trades.
The Auto Body sector committee have agreed to the DRAFT and have been actively involved in the review process and are encouraging organisations within the auto body industry nationally to participate in the review. In addition, ASA are conducting industry feedback groups in NSW, VIC, and QLD, in May WA will also have the opportunity to be part of the review process.
With all data gathered to date, ASA has now distributed the ‘version II’ DRAFT to industry and sector committee for consideration.
If you would like to be part of the review process, or if you have any questions, please contact Vince Panozzo on 03 8610 2510.
Vehicle Body Update – December 9, 2011
Recently ASA have been working on the DRAFT qualification for the Certificate III in Vehicle Body. The Vehicle Body sector committee has been engaged with what the current qualification looks like and we’ll soon be offering the DRAFT version for comment and consideration via the ASA website.
Information gathered from industry identifies a possible need to separate the four specialist areas of panel, paint, trimming and glazing, into separate areas. Industry have asked for more trade specific CORE competencies units for the different trade areas, covering new technology and the required changes in training, plus the possibility of a title/name change to make it attractive for future apprentices.
