SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Effective technical training for a new generation of collision repair estimators & technicians.

As vehicle technology and the materials used for manufacturing cars continues to rapidly evolve, it has never been more important for collision repairers to focus on developing the knowledge, skills and performance of their people to stay ahead.

To ensure safe and proper repairs, carried out in accordance with OEM specifications, estimators and technicians must be able to understand and carry out detailed repair instructions and procedures.

BETAG’s training and equipment program focuses on this – delivering tangible benefits to vehicle owners, collision repairers, insurers and OEMs.

BUSINESS BENEFITS

Training is often only viewed as an expensive compliance requirement - that negatively impacts productivity and burdens body shops with additional cost.

This misses the measurable performance improvements and positive impact developing the knowledge & skills of estimators and technicians has on bottom line performance, including:

• Increasing productivity of less experienced technicians – to improve average labor gross margin; and address shortage of skilled technicians
• Improving repair/replace ratio - to increase gross profit and bottom line performance
• Improving overall quality of repairs and reducing re-works
• Increasing ‘Touch Time’ and reducing ‘Key to Key’ times
• Utilizing ROI from improving the non-structural repair process to invest in training and equipment for more capital-intensive structural repairs

Offering a well-structured career development pathway to aspiring technicians & estimators also serves as a great way to attract, develop and retain talent in an increasingly competitive labor market.
