60 AFTERMARKET SEPTEMBER 2019 TRAINING www.aftermarketonline.net Upcoming training dates and news on courses TRAINING UPDATE Autotech Recruit has teamed up with ZF Aftermarket Technical Training in order to provide access to in-depth, technical courses. Courses will cover transmission systems, steering, suspension, driveline components and on electric and hybrid vehicles. Autotech Recruit Managing Director Gavin White commented: “Garages are under pressure from rapid advances in technology, and, while we still need to focus on bringing in new talent, it is essential that the current workforce is trained sufficiently. Through our close connections with the industry, we recognise the exact needs of both garage owners and vehicle technicians today and it has become increasingly apparent that we need to provide training on specific vehicle components to give technicians a greater level of understanding. We need to build a fix first time mentality.” Mandla Ndhlovu, Head of Training at Autotech Recruit, added: “I am excited by the partnership with ZF Aftermarket Technical Training, which will enable us to offer this high quality of training the automotive industry desperately needs. It will give garages an opportunity to equip their technicians with the skills, knowledge and attributes needed to be able to successfully maintain and repair the vehicles of today and the more technologically advanced vehicles of the future.” For further information email training@autotechrecruit.co.uk or call 01234 240 503.

Held over four branches in Ballymena, Belfast, Omagh and Lurgan, 30 Fyfes staff attended, covering its external sales team, counter staff and Branch Managers. The training, from Blue Print, addressed the latest filtration technology. The presentation began with the key selling points of Blue Print’s own filters, and covered the features and functions of a good filter. The session then moved on to the different types of air, fuel and cabin filters available. Tony Fyfe, Fyfes Managing Director, said: “One of the most important things is that our staff have sound confidence and knowledge in the products they are selling. these training sessions equip our team with expertise and understanding.” Trading in Ballymena for over 100 years, Fyfes now employs more than 200 staff, and has 15 branches in Northern Ireland along with a depot in Drogheda, Ireland.
