Delegates compile a fully costed estimate inclusive of:

• Damage repair specification ensuring safe and appropriate repair specification
• Fully costed new parts
• Paint and materials

During the three preparation days, delegates are set tasks and receive constructive feedback for the following elements within the accreditation:

• Customer/principal instruction
• Vehicle valuation process
• Damage appraisal
• Researching repair methods
• Compiling a safe and appropriate fully-costed repair specification/report (using Thatcham Research Times/vehicle manufacture times)
• Auditing a pre-prepared repair specification to identify errors and any changes required prior to authorisation
• Applying current ABI salvage code to the physical vehicles and image tasks

To determine pre-accident condition (inclusive of vehicle valuation) and fully costed damage appraisal, including compiling a safe and appropriate repair specification ensuring integrity of repair using researched/vehicle manufacture methods and times whilst inputting realistic opinion times in the costed assessment.
