 Auto body repairers are in great demand throughout the country. A good repair
person is essential when it comes to repairing or rebuilding
cars. A knowledge of the latest technology is essential
in order to fill these positions. The changes in the industry
have made it necessary for a person in the trade to become
skilled in the use of fiberglass plastic, aluminum welding,
and other water-based materials.
The auto body repairer is a highly skilled craftsperson
who repairs damaged automobile and truck bodies, restores
body metal to the original contours, and replaces non-repairable
body parts.
 The
Collision Repair Technology Program at West Kentucky Community
& Technical College provides instruction in all phases
of automobile body and fender repair work, as well as refinishing.
This extends from small body dents to the complete rebuilding
of wrecked or damaged vehicles. Students are carefully supervised
in all phases of their work and all jobs performed must
adhere to commercial standards.
The curriculum is based on an industry validated and state-approved
competency list; students proceed at their own rate until
all competencies are mastered at a job entry level. |
