AURVTN013 Carry out paint-less dent repairs on vehicle body panels
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to repair shallow dents and hail damaged body panels using paint-less dent repair (PDR) processes. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools, repairing vehicle panels to pre-damage condition using PDR methods, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive body repair industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

2.3 Components are repaired using approved PDR methods and equipment according to workplace procedures and safety requirements
2.4 Advice is sought from authorised personnel if repair interferes with vehicle trim or electrical systems
2.5 Painted surface is finished according to workplace procedures, and PDR repairs are checked against workplace instructions and workplace quality standards and finish requirements
3. Complete work processes
3.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and panel or component is presented ready for use
3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored
3.3 Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures
3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
carry out paint-less dent repairs (PDR) on ten different vehicle body panels, in which the work must involve completing PDR on one panel with shallow dents to a minimum dimension of 20 mm diameter x 2 mm depth.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to carrying out PDR on vehicle body panels, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
manually handling vehicle body panels
PDR methods and techniques, including:
type and use of PDR tools, lighting equipment, and paint polishing materials
trim removal processes
paint film build and its effects on PDR
PDR push to paint surface
paint finishes, including peel and texture
paint fractures and delamination
corrosion prevention resulting from PDR
types of dents appropriate to PDR method
PDR techniques, including pushing, pressing, reforming, levering, pulling, gluing, and suction cups
PDR finish and quality standard
procedures for final inspection of completed PDR repairs.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the PDR repairs they have carried out, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
vehicles, panels and components requiring PDR as specified in the performance evidence
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for carrying out paint-less dent repairs, including required PPE.
