Current Events/News: I-CAR Press Releases: 2001 Press Releases November 13, 2001 I-CAR TRAINING VOLUME INCREASES 41% ROLLING MEADOWS, IL – November 13, 2001– The volume of I-CAR training has increased 41% in its first fiscal quarter, which ended September 30, 2001, compared to the same period last year. Executive Vice President and CEO Tom Mack stated, "this increase in training continues the rising trend that began last year and has been gathering strength each month." October 2001 numbers maintain this trend and show an increase of 47% compared to last October. Mack attributes the increase to a growing industry recognition of the need for and benefits of technical training. "The introduction of new Enhanced Delivery training programs, the creation of the Industry Training Alliance and the corresponding expansion of the Gold Class Professionals program have been very well received," stated Mack. "These initiatives have expanded the opportunities for technical training and contributed to an increased awareness of training in the industry. We are seeing increased demand and interest in all segments of the collision industry." Director of Field Operations Dave Heckeler notes that this increase in training volume could not have been achieved without the strong commitment and dedication of I-CAR volunteers and instructors. Heckeler stated, "I-CAR’s volunteers and instructors have always put in a great amount of time and effort to train the industry. The recent increases in I-CAR training are a further testament to their outstanding contributions." I-CAR, founded in 1979, is an international, not-for-profit, training organization dedicated to improving the quality, safety and efficiency of auto collision repair for the ultimate benefit of the consumer.
