Vehicle Damage Quantifier
A Vehicle Damage Quantifier (VDQ) determines the real and actual cost of reinstating the vehicle to the condition it was in before the incident that gave rise to the damage or loss or claim. As part of this process, the learner will verify the cause of the damage, determine the values of the vehicle before and after the incident, provide rectification guidelines and interact with the client or insurance company to take the quantification and rectification processes forward.
The occupational qualification also covers a range of technical (practical) skills and work experiences in panel beating, automotive vehicle painting, and in mechanical and auto-electrical aspects to assist the learner with the requisite knowledge to determine the quantum accurately and professionally.
The learner will not be able to perform any repairs on the damaged vehicle. While this qualification will serve the needs of the vehicle damage quantifier (motor body estimator) it will serve as a basis for the aspirant motor vehicle insurance assessor who, upon completing this qualification, will need to complete other insurance-related training relevant to that occupation.
