I-CAR TO CONDUCT QUALIFICATION TESTS AT NACE 2006

HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL - September 27, 2006 - For the first time ever, I-CAR will be conducting both the Automotive Steel GMA (MIG) Welding and Automotive Aluminum GMA (MIG) Welding Qualification Tests (QTs) at NACE. The prep class and test for both steel and aluminum QTs will be held from 8 a.m. - 12 noon and 1 - 6 p.m. respectively November 2 - 4, 2006 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center parking lot.

Three of the new I-CAR Mobile Qualification Test (MQT) trucks will be unveiled at NACE with two trucks administering qualification tests on site at Mandalay Bay and one on display on the NACE show floor.

"This is a unique opportunity to attend both NACE and complete an I-CAR Qualification Test," said Audie Swedeen,

I-CAR Qualification Test Program Manager for North American Operations. "Both units that will be administering the tests have 4 welders on board and can handle 16 technicians per day, so space is limited. I encourage anyone that is interested to register now."

Successful completion of the I-CAR Live training program Aluminum GMA (MIG) Welding (WCA01) is required to attend the Automotive Aluminum GMA (MIG) Welding Qualification Test. I-CAR is offering this program through NACE at the promotional rate of $65 on Wednesday, November 1 from 8 a.m. - 12 noon.

Pre-registration and pre-payment are required for these qualification tests to ensure that testing materials and space are available for all students. To pre-register for the qualification tests at NACE, contact I-CAR MQT Scheduler/Dispatcher Victor Krismalian at 847.463.5260.
