I-CAR Australia CEO Mark Czvitkovits has announced that I-CAR has been engaged by BMW
to oversee their Collision Repair Training program incorporating Body Level 2, Body Level 3,
Fundamentals of Steel and Fundamentals of Aluminium and joins a growing list of vehicle
manufacturer programs operating under the I-CAR banner.
Czvitkovits explained “As a leading vehicle manufacturer, BMW has continued to develop and
implement a range of emerging new technologies that provide a much safer product in the
unfortunate situation of vehicle accidents. Ensuring that collision repair technicians are
adequately trained means that any vehicle repaired following an accident is not only repaired in
accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, but is also performed by technicians with
the required high level of skill.”
Ben Kirby, BMW Bodyshop Programme Manager said “BMW engaged I-CAR to administer the
program as they are considered industry leaders in collision repair training and have outstanding
relationships with current BMW partners including BASF, Car-O-Liner and Chisholm Institute.
Their programs are also endorsed by many of Australia’s leading insurers who understand and
recognise the complexity of modern vehicle repair.”
“BMW has for many years been seen as an organisation that demands only the highest
standards across the entire brand. The commitment to the collision repair industry is a
continuation of that position and can only assist in improving both the knowledge and proven
ability required to safely repair structurally damaged vehicles in today’s market” Czvitkovits
said.
