First up was Product training: Additional business with the full BILSTEIN product range. This was then followed by BILSTEIN suspension technology: Suspension specialist for suspension tuning Commenting on the 2022 programme, Rainer Popiol, Head of BILSTEIN Academy observed: “Active damper systems or air suspension systems are being installed more and more frequently in modern vehicles, and this technology requires qualified repair shops. Another lucrative field of activity is tuning, for which BILSTEIN, as a manufacturer of sports suspensions, also offers online training. Virtual training rooms have been set up, which enable interactive distance learning at the cutting edge.” Participants receive a certificate upon successful completion of each course.

Schaeffler Technical Manager and REPXPERT, Alistair Mason commented, “The purpose of the REPXPERT concept is to put the needs of aftermarket professionals first, which is why it is so much more than simply just a parts catalogue, a technical resource or a bonus shop. Instead, it’s a complete package. It’s with this complete aftermarket solution concept in mind that we put together this online training session. If we can encourage more mechanics to sign up to REPXPERT, or get those already using the platform to use it more, we’ll hopefully make a big impact on the professionalism and profitability of the independent sector.” Alistair added: “Last autumn, the REPXPERT online portal was completely overhauled to incorporate a range of new and updated features designed to bring together all the information a mechanic needs to carry out their daily work. The new system saves time and makes problem solving easier, which is why we want to explain to technicians how they can benefit from the huge wealth of knowledge REPXPERT contains more effectively.” Links for further ‘Tea-break Training’ sessions will be available via: www.repxpert.co.uk Schaeffler ‘Tea-break Training’ – REPXPERT focus
