  • Florian R. “I took a CAP in Car Body Repair, which I chose to supplement with a one-year CAP in Car Body Painting. In the end, I even decided to take a Baccalaureate in Car Body Repair. All through an apprenticeship! I found work straight away upon finishing, and today I’m a business owner with two body shops.”
