“MVP classes are a part of PPG’s overall commitment to the industry and a key component of the strong relationship PPG builds with its customers,” PPG said in a news release. “MVP provides participants with opportunities to examine their current business processes and practices and, through these classes, work with experts to determine the steps needed to adjust or revamp their approach toward a more successful business model.”
A partial list of MVP classes scheduled for January through March 2018 includes Advanced Estimating, Business of Parts Management, Business in the 21st Century, Continuing Education Instructor Development Course and Elevating the Customer Experience. A complete up-to-date schedule of class dates and locations is available at www.ppgmvp.com.
All MVP classes can be arranged for specific regions and shops to address particular issues.
