The American Council of Frame and Alignment Specialists (ACOFAS) announced it was in the process of implementing new enhancements and programs agreed to during its annual business meeting, including rolling out its new 2009 Technician Training Clinic schedule and course content.
The first clinic will be held in Winston-Salem, N.C., June 8-9. ArvinMeritor instructors will cover Class 5-7 truck and bus hydraulic brake systems Monday morning and hydraulic brake ABS diagnostics and maintenance that afternoon. On Tuesday, instructors from Noregon Systems discuss and demonstrate the computer diagnostics needed for maintaining the trucks of today. The computer diagnostics will involve the chassis, engine and transmission computers, as well as the emissions, road control, crash avoidance and ABS computer systems.
Additionally, during the group’s business meeting, a Test Committee was formed that will develop tests to be given to technicians prior and after training clinics. The technicians will be awarded a Certificate of Completion after successfully completing the test.
