Affordable Technical Training

Melior (www.meliortraining.com) - Let's face it. Technical training can be expensive. How do you keep your technicians well trained in an industry that is always changing? Melior Inc. can help. Melior develops and delivers service technician training for a wide-ranging client base and its interactive, Web-based courses are an advanced resource that can be adapted for diverse fields of study. In addition to an assessment tool and Learning Management System, Melior offers ASA members interactive Web-based technical training for both entry-level and experienced technicians. ASA members receive a 25 percent discount on all Melior services, and modules offered to small business users are approximately $25 per course. With savings like that, there's no reason for you not to take advantage of Melior's offer.

Delphi Offers Affordable Educational Packages

Delphi (www.delphi-iss.com) - Through an agreement with Delphi, ASA members are able to choose from a variety of Web-based training and educational packages at a highly discounted rate. The products and services available through Delphi will help ASA members establish career development programs for technicians; provide effective consumer communication tools and offer access to additional repair information options.

Get Bosch Certified Training

Bosch (www.bosch.com) - Through an agreement with Robert Bosch Corp., ASA members can access all currently available Bosch training at preferred rates, regardless if the member business is Bosch-certified. ASA members are eligible to obtain Bosch training in both automotive and diesel applications at various locations, including the Bosch facility in Broadview, Ill., and satellite locations in Daytona Beach, Fla., and Whittier, Calif.

Turn-Around Tour Offers Great How-To Advice

Auto Shop LifeLine (www.TurnAroundTour.com) - ASA's member benefit agreement with Automotive Service Leaders, an industry-focused company that offers the Auto Shop LifeLine program, TurnAroundTour seminars and other events, as well as Web-based products, is designed to help independent automotive repair professionals stay successful.

The primary benefit for ASA members through this agreement is the 50 percent savings off the published price of the LifeLine program, a multi-faceted program designed to assist shop owners in creating a "how to" manual for their businesses via Webinar classes. LifeLine will complement and assist members in implementing what has been learned from past management training classes and events. Plus, no-travel networking with other shop owners makes LifeLine a great member benefit.
