The HELLA Training Academy (HTA), which has been successfully providing technical training courses for some time, is now offering business skills courses, that are aimed at helping independent repairers improve their skills and raise their overall standards. All courses are one day duration and are delivered by recognised industry experts.
Johannes Schade, Aftermarket Managing Director at HELLA Ireland, has been key in the development of the Academy. He comments, "it’s clear to me since I arrived in Ireland, that independent garages don’t get the support they should. They have nowhere to go to improve their skills. I have seen this before in both Denmark, Norway and Poland, where we as Nordic Forum, have become one of the biggest industry education bodies.” Johannes adds, "Fortunately we have great resources in the Nordic Forum so this will benefit Irish garages, but we must encourage them to attend the training courses"
The HTA website at www.hta.ie, has information on upcoming courses, course fees, requirements and how to book. The website also has useful links to the technical websites of the many HELLA Ireland parts suppliers and the very useful HELLA TechWorld website and access to all these sites is free.
HTA have a number of experienced trainers including Ken Johnson, who is a fully qualified technician and approved trainer for HELLA Gutmann equipment and F-Gas training.
