I-CAR launches new interactive damage analysis course

June 3, 2014
I-CAR’s Advanced Steering and Suspension Damage Analysis, an instructor-led interactive course, will replace Electronically Controlled Steering and Suspension Systems this month.
Advanced Steering and Suspension Systems Damage Analysis (DAM15), an all-new, instructor-led interactive course, will replace Electronically Controlled Steering and Suspension Systems (STE05) on June 9, 2014.

This interactive course provides detailed information on the considerations for inspecting steering and suspension systems and provides knowledge that can lead to increased efficiency and a positive customer experience. 

Josh McFarlin, I-CAR Director of Curriculum & Product Development stated, “Advanced steering and suspension systems are common in today’s vehicles and if not repaired properly, other vehicle systems can be compromised.” He continued, “Repairers can apply knowledge learned in this course throughout the repair process.”

The course is complete with a series of interactive classroom activities and problem-solving scenarios designed to engage the student and enrich their learning experience in order to further prepare them to apply their knowledge on the job. Toward the end of the course, the student will engage in a “damage discovery” activity where he/she will simulate the estimating process.

This instructor-led, Live 3-credit hour course meets training requirements for Estimators, Auto Physical Damage Appraisers and Electrical/Mechanical Technicians in I-CAR’s Professional Development Program™ (PDP). Once DAM15 premieres, STE05 will be discontinued. If STE05 has been completed, training credit earned will not be lost.
