Bill Dingle Smash Repairs in Ayr, North Queensland, has been awarded I-CAR Gold Class Collision status.
Josh Leonardi, Workshop / Parts Manager at Bill Dingle Smash Repairs, said the business was looking for structured and industry specific training to keep up-to-date with constant change occurring in the industry.
“Once the Road to Gold programme was offered to us by the Suncorp Group, it was a no brainer to jump on board with the training,” Leonardi said. “The several training delivery options offered by I-CAR made finding time for training easier.
“All of our training was done online in a virtual classroom afterhours. From apprentices through to the tradespeople, [we] have all been learning something new every course and have more confidence when working in the workshop.
“We want to keep our Gold Glass status long term by introducing I-CAR courses into our future processes. I feel when this training is done correctly, it can really boost up the staff’s attitudes and abilities to carry out future work and being kept up-to-date, which can only provide a good outcome for the business and the customers.”
I-CAR congratulated Bill Dingle Smash Repairs on the achievement.
“The Gold Class accreditation cultivates a learning culture in the workplace and places them in a very strong position to overcome the challenges presented by the ever-evolving body repair industry. Congratulations to all involved,” I-CAR said.
