I-CAR is a long-standing supporter of ASRW and will return to the event this year with some of its newest training, such as the premiere of its Blueprinting Process and Damage Discovery (BLU01) course. During this "live-demo" course, students will learn how blueprinting can lead to more accurate damage assessments and gain insights into applying the blueprinting process in their own shop environments. The live-demo will include the disassembly of a vehicle and steps to discover hidden damage.
The blueprinting course will take place Thursday, Oct. 11, and Friday, Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the ASRW show floor and will have a maximum of 15 students per session. The course costs $100/student and registration is available online.
