Collision Repair Technology I
In the global automobile collision repair industry, there is a growing demand for qualified collision repair technicians. In this course, students will learn damage analysis, estimating, customer service, non-structural analysis, damage repair, and welding. Students will work with a variety of materials, using metal finishing and body filling techniques to prepare surfaces and repair panels. Students who successfully complete this program sequence may be eligible to take an industry recognized certification exam. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
Collision Repair Technology I is aligned with the 2023 ASE Education Foundation Collision Repair and Refinish program standards.
Notes
Legislation enacted in the 2011 Virginia General Assembly (HB 1493) and amended in 2012 (HB 1108) requires where there is a national industry certification for career and technical education instructional personnel or programs for automotive technology, the Board of Education must make such certification mandatory. The provisions of this act shall become effective July 1, 2013.
To comply with the requirements, all career and technical education (CTE) collision repair technology programs must be Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Education Foundation accredited and the instructors must be certified by the National Institute for ASE.
