The Vehicle Accident and Repair (Paint Principles) Diploma Level 2 course has been designed to enhance students’ vehicle body repair/re-finishing skills, knowledge and understanding to Level 2.
The course will enable the learners to develop skills and understanding of the procedures for the refinishing of new and repaired vehicle panels.
