I-CAR will soon offer a new training opportunity
focused on
Ford’s vehicle-specific parts and repair procedures.
The course, Collision Repair for Ford and Lincoln
Vehicles (FOR05), was developed by I-CAR and the Ford Paint & Body Technology Center.
Registration for this instructor-led (live) training
program is open and the course will premiere Sept. 6,
2011. New classes are being added to the class schedule
on an ongoing basis.
This course provides information on service and parts
for Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including collision
repair position statements, different construction
materials, vehicle features, and repair considerations.
An explanation of different joining methods used on Ford
and Lincoln vehicles, including the use of fasteners,
adhesives, and welds is provided. Considerations around
properly preparing parts for corrosion protection
coatings and refinishing procedures are also covered in
the course. Additionally, information on electrical and
mechanical systems that are specific to Ford vehicles is
provided.
Bill Stage, I-CAR Director of Marketing & Distribution
said, “The ability for I-CAR to develop and deliver
Ford-specific training helps support the collision
industry by providing an overview of key topics that are
relevant to individuals who repair Ford and Lincoln
vehicles. I-CAR is glad to have established its
relationship with Ford Paint & Body Technology Center
and believes that individuals working in the collision
industry will be better positioned to provide Ford
vehicle owners with a complete and safe repair. Proper
training on Ford vehicles will help repairers reduce the
possibility of rework and maintain the overall integrity
of the vehicle.”
