Affinia Global Brake and Chassis announced it is again offering training classes and programs for technicians interested in fine-tuning their craft. The company, which manufacturers Raybestos brake products, said more than 8,000 technicians enroll every year in the Affinia Tech Training courses.
Conducted by NATEF-certified instructors, the detailed program includes both Training Center and Field Training courses conducted at Affinia’s McHenry, Ill. facility and offers technicians the opportunity to learn the latest industry techniques and developments while providing a chance to re-familiarize with important industry concepts, according to Affinia.
All Training modules are accredited courses measurable by an exam that follows training. The Technician Training Program includes course titles such as:
