I-CAR has announced two recent milestone accomplishments on behalf of improving the collision repair industry.
In March, the organization achieved a significant milestone, having taught its 10 millionth credit hour in its 35 years of existence. I-CAR was able to also give back to the industry through a significant donation to the Collision Repair Education Foundation for the second year in a row.
“Our 10 millionth credit hour represents the hard work and dedication that collision repair professionals put into their work every day,” said John Van Alstyne, I-CAR CEO and president. “Through ongoing role-relevant training, our vision is that every person in the collision repair industry has the knowledge, education and solutions required to perform complete and safe repairs – for the ultimate benefit of the consumer.”
In 2013, I‐CAR committed to set aside $1 for every I‐CAR class attended by students in 2014 – resulting this year in a $170,000 donation to the Collision Repair Education Foundation. I‐CAR serves as a provider of technical training curriculum to the education segment, whereas the Collision Repair Education Foundation’s objective is to advance collision repair secondary and post-secondary education by supporting funding for both schools and students.
“The evolution and impact of I-CAR over the last 35 years is exciting and impressive,” said Van Alstyne. “As vehicle technology continues to evolve, you can count on I-CAR to do the same, expanding our relevance and the value we deliver to the collision repair industry.”
