Baskerville oversee programs, including a body-aligner and a limited spray booth for the coach and motor painting course. Apprentice paths cover four years with a journeyman track and staged progress from stages two to four, with growing enrolment numbers signaling improved skilled trades output.

Replacement of panels a modern method of repairing cars
Car makers promote full panel replacement as cheaper than beating out damage. Economic factors limit this trend in the ACT. Some dealers offer up to 40 percent discount on new panels, while independent repairers may face higher costs and prefer repairs. Panel workers’ idle time and parts delays influence choices, with Canberra dealers typically stock immediate panels though rare imports can cause weeks of wait.
