Glen Mills, Pennsylvania – Axalta has announced that they will be extending their online Refinish curriculum to include all vocational schools across North America.
This decision from the global supplier of liquid and powder coatings comes at a time when safe access to education has become a luxury and Axalta is doing what they can to help keep student refinishers in training, despite pandemic restrictions.
The multi-week curriculum covers all facets of a collision repair shop, including customer service, detailing, body repair, measuring techniques, and painting. All content is available in English and several courses are also offered in French.
“Over the last few months, we’ve received countless requests for online course offerings,” said Patricia Morschel, marketing and commercial operations director for North America Refinish at Axalta. “The pilot program was hugely successful, and we couldn’t be happier to extend our online curriculum to all vocational schools. During a time when distance learning is making such a big impact on the collision repair industry, we are proud to be able to support vocational schools and help prepare tech students for their future in the industry.”
Vocational schools interested in Axalta’s free online Refinish curriculum should contact their Axalta representative or send an email to NArefinishtraining@axalta.com.
