I-CAR offers training during SEMA

The training programs offered at the show will provide attendees with updates on current vehicle design, new vehicle manufacturer recommendations, and “how-to” information on efficiently repairing vehicles. A full list of I-CAR training offered at the SEMA Show is listed below.

To give a preview of the types of training that I-CAR provides, I-CAR will be offering free informational sessions to all SEMA Show 2011 attendees. Sessions will take place at the SEMA Collision Repair & Refinish Stage throughout the week. The following sessions will be available, Aluminum Intensive Vehicles Structures, Automotive Aluminum MIG Welding Equipment and Techniques, Advanced High-Strength Steel Structures Design and Repair, and Advanced Lightweight Vehicle Technology and Repair.

John Van Alstyne, I-CAR CEO & President said, “The SEMA audience knows first-hand that vehicle technology is continually changing and staying informed on industry trends impacts everyone in the industry, including repairers, manufacturers, suppliers, and many others.”

Van Alstyne continued, “Reaching the audience at the SEMA Show 2011 will allow I-CAR to communicate an important industry message. Collision repair training has a powerful impact on many areas of the automotive and collision repair industries, and aside from the important goal of ensuring vehicles are properly repaired, the benefits of relevant, up-to-date training can improve both individual and business performance.”
