I-CAR has announced that it has updated its instructor-led Structural Straightening Steel (SSS01) course that
addresses how to correctly approach structural straightening repairs. Updates to the course include increased classroom activities, new
HD-quality videos, improved graphics and methods for straightening
common types of full-frame damage.
I-CAR states that this course covers key repair topics and provides technicians with information that will help keep the repair and equipment safe. Proper stress-relieving techniques, positioning of pulling attachments and how to locate anchoring points are just a few of the key topics covered.
The increased use of high-strength steels and other new materials are
changing the way to correctly approach these repairs, which means
technicians need to rethink what was once believed to be true.
“Updates in this course will prepare repairers to think like steel structural technicians," said Josh McFarlin, I-CAR director of curriculum and product development. "Gone are the days when most structural parts can be repaired with straightening. New vehicles and new materials create the need to shift thinking and approach repairs differently.”
Anyone who has previously taken the course will automatically have online access to the updated course materials today.
This three-credit hour course meets training requirements for steel structural technicians in I-CAR’s Professional Development Program (PDP).
