Commenting on the new service, Jonathan Sampson, Sales and Product Director for Autodata Training said: “We’re really excited to launch this unique service to garages. Autodata already has an enviable reputation for providing the most comprehensive, step-by-step technical data and instructions available today, and with the launch of this new suite of high-quality video training, technicians have access to a truly comprehensive solution at their fingertips.” “Gone are the days when workshop owners needed to spend time sourcing quality training for their technicians, or losing out on valuable repair time because they had to send their technicians away on courses. For the first time, technicians can get the specialist training they need, at a time that suits them. We estimate that an average workshop will keep every single technician in the working environment for an extra four hours every month using these video tutorials alone.” Ken Wood, Owner of Zenith Auto Repairs, uses Autodata Training to provide their workshop training. He said: “Myself and my team find this service invaluable. It’s like having access to a full-time technical trainer as and when I need them, which my technicians can use as often as they need. No one needs to leave the workshop, yet we still get detailed, comprehensive training, packaged up in a user-friendly system.” www.autodata-training.com Autodata launches new online training platform for techs Follow us on Facebook/ aftermarketmagazine
