The Certificate III in Automotive Refinishing Technology (AUR32420) is a nationally recognised qualification tailored for individuals working in the automotive refinishing trade. It reflects the responsibilities of those involved in painting, refinishing, repairing, and maintaining painted surfaces on a wide range of vehicles—including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, and specialty automotive equipment.

This qualification covers key industry skills such as surface preparation, colour matching, spray painting techniques, refinishing procedures, and workplace safety practices. It’s designed for experienced tradespeople looking to formalise their skills through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

The qualification is available exclusively through RPL, meaning if you already have hands-on experience in automotive spray painting or refinishing, you can get certified without sitting in a classroom or completing formal training. This is the perfect way to turn your industry experience into a nationally recognised qualification and boost your credibility in the automotive industry.
