The collision repair industry has told I-CAR that the value of training is much higher when training is taken to support a role. That’s why I-CAR introduced a new Professional Development Program in 2010 that identifies training that is timely and relevant for several different roles.

As I-CAR transitions from the former 5&2, 10&2 program to the I-CAR^® Professional Development Program™, you can continue to be recognized for your achievements as either a Platinum Individual or a Gold Class Professionals business.

The transition period will occur over a few years with each year building upon the other, ensuring that your training meets the needs of your role. If you choose to be recognized under the new plan, you’ll want to review the following requirements:
