ADEI kicks off fall technician training with orientation lunch

WANADAs Automobile Dealer Education Institute (ADEI) welcomed its newest class of aspiring automobile technicians to its annual luncheon and orientation this past Wednesday, August 11 at Montgomery College in Rockville, MD. The event was a good opportunity for new students to become acquainted with the program and veteran students to acclimate for the start of fall classes at the end of this month.

WANADA began its technician training initiative nine years ago, and since then has provided over 200 technicians the education and tech training required for a successful career

in dealership service department operations. ADEI affords students with a scholarship to this two-year National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) Certified program. The training effectively combines structured classroom, shop, and interactive curriculum teaching with full time, paid on-the-line employment. ADEI technician training is unique in the industry, and students enrolled in the program can expect to emerge from it as full-fledged line technicians in the dealership, some with numerous ASE Certifications to their credit.

Joining the new and returning ADEI students were dealership service department technician mentors, whose job it is to keep the aspiring technicians on track. If your dealer organization doesnt participate in ADEI Technician Training, find out how it can benefit your fixed operations. ADEI successfully and efficiently home grows line technicians and its a bargain for the dealership. Besides the flagship program at Montgomery College, ADEI Tech Training is now also available through Northern Virginia Community College at the Alexandria and Manassas campuses.
