Become a Repair Certifier
If you are interested in becoming a Repair Certifier, there are three things you need to know:
1. Required Background
You must meet criteria specific to the repair certification categories you wish to apply for, including substantial experience in panelbeating/collision repair, as well as any required formal qualifications.
2. Regional Coverage Considerations
A high-quality repair certification system
Maintaining the right number of Repair Certifiers across New Zealand is essential for upholding consistently high standards in repair certification inspections, while delivering quality service to the public and industry. This may be a factor in the application process.
To meet the objectives of the Land Transport Act 1998 and NZTA’s goal of promoting an effective, efficient, and safe land transport system, NZTA and RepairCert NZ will work together to ensure, as much as possible, that the volume and quality of Repair Certifiers is maintained across New Zealand.
