From Painter Certification to Color Adjustment and Blending, as well as Fleet CFR, there are a variety of topics addressed throughout the series to better equip technicians to handle multiple challenges experienced in the workplace. Participants will learn to perfect their skills through a combination of classroom, digital and hands-on settings at various metropolitan Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes training centers.
“In any career, continuing education is an important factor to make sure employees know the best practices and continue to expand their horizons,” says Rod Habel, Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes Director of Training Operations.
“Advanced training helps professionals stay productive and efficient on-site,” Habel adds. “For instance, our Painter Certification class will instruct students in the proper application and usage of the ULTRA 7000® Refinish System and the AWX Performance Plus™ Waterborne System. The objective is to improve production targets and maintain the highest quality repair.”
He also noted there are several opportunities for painters and technicians to attend a Color Adjustment and Blending course that introduces students to practical application techniques and trouble-shooting during the painting process.
