Accelerate Personal & Business Growth
A-Plus™ University places a critical focus on education and the ability to conveniently access it when and where it is needed.
A-Plus™ University takes a blended approach to delivering world class education covering a range of subjects—virtually and in an in-person classroom setting. Subjects range from our highly sought-after and top rated EcoLean™ curriculum focusing on everything from the practical application of “lean” within the collision industry to safe and proper estimating. The EcoLean University workshop series is designed for collision repair facility owners and managers who want to:
- Drive process and environmental waste out of the business
- Learn how to develop a customer-focused culture
- Develop a full and accurate repair plan to sustain with evolving vehicle technologies
- Review damage analysis and blueprinting as the goal is to achieve a 100% accurate RO (which includes all parts, labor, materials and operations necessary to restore customers’ vehicles to a “crashworthy” status)
- Incorporate parts correctness methods commonly found in traditional production activities enabling the shop to move to the next level in cycle-time reduction, and increase vehicle throughput while achieving higher customer satisfaction rankings
A-Plus University Curriculum
We offer live and pre-recorded “virtual” courses each month—many of which qualify for I-CAR Alliance credit with the completion of a post class assessment. With A-Plus status, you receive priority registration and a 20 percent discount on select workshops including EcoLean Agility and EcoLean Safe & Proper Estimating by Collision Advice.
