facilities that meet all standards of the program will be
recognized as Porsche Approved Collision Centers.

background in some of today’s most commonly used materials and
procedures, as well completion of two of I-CAR’s Welding

complete Porsche training and perform quality repairs on Porsche
vehicles."
Individuals will receive I-CAR training on some of today’s most
common collision repair procedures, as well as comprehensive
welding instructions that includes theory, hands-on practice,
and the I-CAR Steel GMA (MIG) Welding Qualification Test and I-

delighted to provide its training as part of the 'Porsche
Approved Collision Center Program'. A strong foundation in the
collision repair process will provide Porsche technicians with
the most current training information available and prepare them
