BLACKPOOL, England - May 29, 2006: A new authorised dealer training programme is being launched by British automaker TVR in conjunction with Blackpool and The Fylde College, an associate college of Lancaster University. The programme will ensure that the authorised dealers continue to be trained to the highest standards, with access to the very latest technologies, purpose-built facilities and expertise.

TVR and the college have been working closely for some months on the implementation of the programme, which will cover TVR-approved apprenticeships up to level III City and Guilds and TVR-approved technician training up to masters' level. The prestigious college, which is a Centre of Vocational Excellence in Automotive Manufacture and holds a Charter Mark for Excellence, is installing a purpose-built training area specifically for the programme, and TVR is providing the latest software, hardware and knowledge.

This is an important move by TVR to contribute towards the preservation and progression of British automotive engineering, as well as to ensure the furtherance in quality of its own cars and their ongoing maintenance. TVR is proud that its cars and many of their components are hand-crafted and cared for by skilled technicians and engineers, a tradition that it is keen to continue.
