Car-O-Liner Academy Introduces Technician Skills Training to Asia
In an effort to improve repair quality in emerging vehicle markets Car-O-Liner Academy along with its parent Alignment Systems AB has designed and introduced "Technician Skills Training" to insure the motoring public receives proper repairs."This training is not just product training of our own equipment," stated Timothy Morgan, Car-O-Liner’s Global Technical Training Director. "Car-O-Liner is performing training from technician safety, minor dent repair, MIG/MAG welding, Plastic Repair, and vehicle preparation. The need in growing market areas is apparent, and from those requests we have developed the training to meet each individual vehicle manufacturer needs."
The training is based on four levels of repair; Basic Repair, Minor Damage, Medium Damage, Major Damage Repair, with advanced courses to follow. This gives the technician a complete understanding of collision repair up to the point the training is then taken over by their paint supplier. Over 31 modules of training are included, with both written and performance based testing at the end of each level. Levels 1-4 offer 25 days of training.
Jeff Huang, Competence Manager of Volvo Cars China, said, "Car-O-Liner Body Skills Training is really helping us establish a solid body competence basis in our dealer network in China market. By far, we are very satisfied with the training delivered by Car-O-Liner and we strongly believe this is just a beginning and will look into more fields for future cooperation with Car-O-Liner in China."
The training is being performed at the Car-O-Liner & Josam Alignment Systems (Beijing) Ltd. Training Centres in Beijing, China at the present time, but will be expanding to other markets shortly because of the demand.
