August 28, 2018—In addition to their $3,370,740 software donation last year through a partnership with the Collision Repair Education Foundation (CREF), Audatex, a Solera Company, has committed to donating $25,000 to the Foundation annually for the next five years.
The funds are unrestricted and will be used to support collision repair education students and programs in North America.
Audatex also collaborates with CREF on the Audatex Educational Institutions Program, which provides eligible collision schools in North America with access to Audatex Estimating software, online courses and training, a custom curriculum that includes CEUs and I-CAR points, and technical support.
The partnership between CREF and Audatex Educational Institutions Program has provided subscriptions to the Audatex estimating software to 269 collision repair programs at schools in 41 states and continues to grow each year.
To qualify for participation in the Audatex Educational Institutions Program and access the estimating software, online courses and training, and technical support Audatex offers, technical and vocational schools in the USA and Canada that offer a collision repair program should fill out the Educational Institutions Program Contact Form on the Audatex website.
