Mark added: “We are well aware that 2030 is fast approaching, when production of new petrol and diesel vehicles will stop and EVs will dominate the industry. Servicing those vehicles requires specialist training and we want to ensure that we do our best to support aftermarket technicians by giving them the skills to work on the next generation of vehicles. “Technicians need to prepare for this and based on the current trend, the IMI predicts a shortfall of approximately 35,000 technicians with 2026 marking the point where the skill deficit will materialise. For this reason, Snap-on has collaborated with the IMI to provide a best-in-class program for technicians at Level 3 “This course is intended for skilled technicians who want to gain the technical knowledge and practical skills required to work safely when performing routine maintenance on electric and hybrid vehicles. Our team of industry experts will deliver the course in a state-of-the-art training school and classroom, providing technicians with the tools and expertise they need to achieve an industry-recognised qualification.” For more information on electric/hybrid training qualifications and to see the full calendar of courses, visit: Snapon.com/ev-training Mark concluded: “Snap-on trains thousands of people each year, and we strongly believe in assisting technicians in maximising their own potential and combining it with the potential of their equipment to be the best they can be. We wish the very best of luck to everybody competing in this year's Top Technician and Top Garage competitions.” JUNE 20 2 AFTERMARKET 23 V OM O FR OY AT O ALIFIED C 000 QU ,5 ER 2 UR BUYE RGET STCANT RS LEAS LIST E AL RENT fu an. lle ry on +44 (0 ac ont t: C .uk oc amedia. r@df 340 073 23 )17 uller an F Ry
