COLLISION REPAIR & REFINISH PROGRAM EVALUATION
NATEF Standards for Initial Certification and Recertification are identical. Four items are
critical for certification and are in bold print in the Collision Repair & Refinish Program Self-
Evaluation materials. These four items are:
| 2.5 A |
Does the Advisory Committee convene a minimum of two working
meetings per year?
|
| 6.5 A |
Do the [collision repair & refinish] areas provide theory and "hands-
on" training for 95% of the HP-I and 90% of the HP-G tasks [in each
area to be certified]?
|
| 7.1 A |
Rate the degree to which all shields, guards, and other safety devices
are in place, operable, and used.
|
| 7.1 B |
Rate the degree to which all students, instructors, and visitors wear
safety glasses in the lab/shop area while lab is in session.
|
Programs must be able to support a yes response for 2.5 A and 6.5 A. Programs must hold at
least two working meetings of the Advisory Committee each year (2.5 A). In section 6.5 A, the
programs must include the required percentage of the HP-I and HP-G tasks in the areas where
certification is desired. Programs must also achieve a 4 on the 5-point scale on items 7.1 A & B.
Programs must meet the hour requirements listed on page 4 in the areas identified for
certification unless they meet the requirements listed in item 9 on page 5. If these responses
are not achieved, do not apply for certification at this time.
In addition, an on-site evaluation will not be scheduled unless the average score on each of
Standards 6, 7, 8, and 9 is at least a 4 on the Collision Repair & Refinish Program Self-
Evaluation. Please refer to the Collision Repair & Refinish Program Requirements for more
information.
