I-CAR, Assured Performance Network collaborate on training

I-CAR is collaborating with the Assured Performance Network in the development of the Road to Gold program, a new planned approach to achieving the I-CAR Gold Class Professionals designation for their network of more than 3,000 collision repair shops.

Organizations that enroll in the Road to Gold™ program commit to earning the I-CAR Gold Class Professionals® business designation, which is a requirement for earning the Assured Performance Certification. The Gold Class designation is the highest training recognition available to businesses in the collision repair industry. Other businesses that have been recognized as Gold Class have reported less rework, retained customer satisfaction, and improved overall operational efficiencies.

“For our Assured Performance Certification, the I-CAR Gold Class Professionals® designation is essential to ensuring the shop has the training that is in accordance with industry repair standards.” Scott Biggs, CEO of Assured Performance, explained. “With this new Road to Gold™ program, our members can enroll with a clear objective –Gold Class status, and get a plan to achieve and maintain it.”

“I-CAR commends Assured Performance Network for its commitment to training. The inherit value delivered through the I-CAR® Professional Development Program™ and the Gold Class designation will provide Assured Performance Network member shops with the training needed to perform safe repairs and retain vehicle integrity post-repair,” said Jeff Peevy, I-CAR Senior Director of Field Operations and Segment Development.
