CCC's Glendale Office Again Plays Host to I-CAR Training Courses
CCC Extends Its Support of the Collision Repair Industry
CHICAGO, April 30 -- Extending its support for the collision
repair industry, CCC Information Services Inc. announced today
that it will again play host to I-CAR (Inter-Industry Conference on Auto
Collision Repair) certification training classes this spring in CCC's
Glendora, Calif., Development Center. CCC periodically provides space to
I-CAR in the 85,000-square-foot Glendora facility, home to CCC database
developers and programmers. Classes are open to all collision repair
facilities in the region. In addition, all CCC Glendora professionals attend
I-CAR classes and earn I-CAR certification. This spring's I-CAR course at CCC
is Collision Repair 2000, which provides up-to-the-minute information on
damage analysis, repair, sectioning and parts replacement to help reduce
costly mistakes, increase efficiency and protect against liability exposure.
"CCC is proud to open our doors to I-CAR," said Jack Rozint, senior vice
president for CCC. "We've always been committed to the collision repair
industry; we hold special events and donate time and money to diverse industry
organizations. Hosting I-CAR's classes is just one more way for us to give
back. We believe so strongly in I-CAR training that we have our own
developers take these classes to ensure they have the most advanced collision
repair knowledge. In fact, within two years, almost 30 CCC programmers have
earned I-CAR certification." CCC also provides funding for the I-CAR
Educational Foundation as well as for the National Auto Body Council (NABC),
Collision Technician Apprentice Program (CTAP), Automotive Management
Institute (AMI) and Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA).
"I-CAR appreciates the help," commented Donnakerri Hofstetter, South
Pacific Regional Manager for I-CAR. "These classes are quite popular, and
having access to a facility like CCC's, we can accommodate all of our
students. Collision repair professionals have an enormous amount of technical
information to absorb all the time. When vendors share their resources to
make that training possible, the entire industry benefits."
Founded in 1979, I-CAR is a nonprofit training organization dedicated to
improving the quality, safety, and efficiency of auto collision repair for the
ultimate benefit of consumers. The organization trains 30,000 people
nationwide each year in more than 300 locations in the United States, Canada,
the Caribbean, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and Japan. Consumers seek out
collision repair facilities with I-CAR Gold Class Professional and other
certifications because they attest that the facility has up-to-date training.
In addition, many insurance companies require their DRP collision repair
facilities to earn certifications, including I-CAR certification.
