Registration deadline approaching for ALI Lift Inspector Certification workshops

The deadline to register for the Automotive Lift Institute’s (ALI) upcoming Lift Inspector Certification Program workshop in Los Angeles on July 8 is fast approaching. The Los Angeles stop is one of two left this year in the United States; the final workshop will be held during the SEMA Show in Las Vegas on November 8. The sessions offered at each site are as follows: July 8 (Los Angeles) - Participant’s Orientation - Pre-Course Exam ONLY Register no later than May 20 Nov. 8 (SEMA Show, Las Vegas) - Participant’s Orientation - Pre-Course Exam - Course Exam Register no later than Sept. 20 Each location will have something to offer for participants at varying stages of the certification process. A six-hour Orientation conducted by ALI representatives will be held to outline the administrative aspects of the program, introduce ALI and participant expectations and answer questions. Those who have already been introduced to the program will have the opportunity to take the pre-course exam. In Las Vegas, candidates who had previously passed the pre-course exam may take the course exam. “We’ve organized workshops in cities across North America to make it as convenient as possible for candidates to participate,” explains Dale Soos, senior project engineer for ALI. “Turnout at the sessions we’ve held so far has been great. Since the program kickoff in October, more than 450 candidates have enrolled.” The Orientations were created to educate participating company employees who are responsible for quality and implementation within their organizations. They are open exclusively to inspector candidates and responsible employees. Workshop registration is included in the Lift Inspector Certification Program fee, which is discounted to $1,000 through Sept. 30. The fee also includes a Candidate Handbook and extensive course materials. There is a testing fee required to take the pre-course or course exam.
