PPG expands online training courses

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio - PPG Automotive Refinish has expanded its online video technical training courses for collision center technicians, distributors and students. Developed through a partnership between PPG Refinish and 3M’s Automotive Aftermarket team, each on-line course is designed to teach an established standard technical repair process. The courses are available in the U.S. and Canada through the PPG Refinish website, www.ppgrefinish.com.

Bill Troyer, director of training, PPG, noted, “It’s always been our goal to extend our training reach, providing technicians with another resource on best practices for refinishing a vehicle.” 

“Today’s technology allows technicians to access these courses 24/7 anywhere they have a computer in the United States and Canada,” added Robert Hill, PPG technical sales instructor supervisor, central Canada.

PPG’s new Online Technical Training video courses are focused on teaching best practices for standard refinish repair procedures. Thirteen courses are currently offered covering the most common refinish operations from light body repair, e-coat panel prep, plastic panel prep, priming and sealing, color identification and personal protective equipment.

The online courses use a proven methodology for teaching students of varying skills and abilities and are available for PPG and Nexa Autocolor products. Upon completing a course and passing an associated quiz, students receive a certificate of completion.
