Certificate IV in Automotive Body Repair Technology

This qualification will be delivered over 30 weeks of training and assessment without any holidays.

Units are assessed individually via a range of assessment methods, including Written Assessment, Verbal Questioning, and Practical Demonstrations observed directly by the assessor. Students also have the opportunity to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfers (CT).

OCT operates on a rolling intake timetable. All students must complete the units in the initial stage (specifically AURETR125 – Test, charge and replace batteries and jump-start vehicles) prior to merging with older students in ongoing classes. Students can commence their course in any of these units and in any order, and each student will be provided with an individual training and assessment plan outlining their timetable.

The minimum English language requirements include: IELTS overall score of 6.0 (or 5.5 with 10 weeks ELICOS, or 5.0 with 20 weeks ELICOS), PTE Academic score of 50 (or 42/36 with ELICOS), Cambridge English Advanced score of 169 (or 162/154 with ELICOS), and Occupational English Test grade B for each test component. The English language test must have been completed within two years of the application date.

Students can make an appeal against any assessment decision by following the Complaints and Appeals Policy outlined in the Student Handbook and on the website. All appeals and complaints will be dealt with according to the Complaints and Appeals Procedure.
