I-CAR premiered several online training
programs in 2011 including its newest course,
Basic Electronics Damage Analysis (DAM13e),
which started Aug. 8.
Through taking this course, individuals will
learn how to effectively communicate at every
level of the damage analysis process, identify
the basic requirements for a circuit and how
circuit values are measured, as well as what
other parts of a circuit are designed to do.
This course provides an understanding of how
electrical systems are designed to work and
what can be done when these systems are
damaged. Information on how to recognize
collision damage to wiring, the possibilities
for repair, and the tools and steps required
when troubleshooting an electrical circuit
problem are also covered in this course.
Joyce Kasmer, I-CAR Director of Business
Development said, “Understanding how to
effectively communicate throughout the entire
repair process lends to more accurate damage
assessments, which can result in reduced cycle
times and higher customer satisfaction. This
online course will be beneficial to collision
repair professionals who are interested in
learning about specific procedures related to
electronics damage analysis and how to
effectively interact with vehicle owners,
repair facilities, and insurance
companies.”
This course meets I-CAR® ProLevel™ or annual
training requirements for the Estimator and
Auto Physical Damage Appraiser roles and
satisfies the Basic Electrical knowledge area
within the I-CAR® Professional Development
Program™. Once an online training course has
begun, an individual has thirty days to
complete the course and can re-access it an
unlimited number of times until it has been
completed. After completion of the course, the
individual will have access to course materials
for reference by logging in to their
account.
Information and registration for this course
can be found on the I-CAR website or by contacting
I-CAR Customer Care at 800-422-7872.
