May 15, 2018—A partnership between Chief and I-CAR—aka Chief University—aims to help shops reinvest funds that would otherwise go to application fees into sending technicians to training courses or purchasing new equipment.
Standalone I-CAR credit application fees, which are in addition to course registration fees, can range from approximately $50-$125. Through Chief University, course participants provide their I-CAR number at the start of a training and Chief ensures the participants receive individual credits.
The credits help shops earn or maintain I-CAR's Gold Class status.
In addition to helping trainees save money and secure credits, Chief also offers a voucher for a two-day Chief University training course—a $675 value.
