Current Events/News: I-CAR Press Releases April 21, 2004 FORD MASTERS PROGRAM RECOGNIZES I-CAR® TRAINING, ASE CERTIFICATIONROLLING MEADOWS, IL – April 21, 2004 – Ford Motor Company, through its Collision Repair Masters Program, will continue to recognize and incorporate I-CAR Enhanced Delivery training programs throughout the United States. Over 25 I-CAR programs are included in the Ford Masters initiative as are the I-CAR Steel and Aluminum Welding Qualification Tests. Ford has also incorporated the ASE "B" series certification tests into the Master program. The Masters Program is designed to recognize and reward Ford collision repair technicians for their training accomplishments and experience. Ford's program includes a series of I-CAR programs, as well as paint-manufacturer specific courses. The Masters program is structured into three specialty areas that consist of non-structural repair, refinishing, and structural repair. Ford dealer technicians will be attending I-CAR Enhanced Delivery programs through the existing I-CAR class delivery system from I-CAR instructors. They will utilize the same curriculum, have the same registration process, experience the same inter-industry classroom environment and take the same program post-tests and qualification tests, receiving the most up to date training in collision repair. "We are very proud to have the I-CAR Enhanced Delivery programs included in the Ford Motor Company Collision Repair Master Technician Program. Ford's initiative to expand this program to include the collision repair and refinish technicians employed in their dealerships provides a clear message that training is a critical element in vehicle repair and reinforce a positive image and repair experience for the vehicle owner," stated Tom McGee, I-CAR Executive Vice President and CEO. McGee further commented, "The inclusion of the I-CAR training programs also demonstrates how the collision industry can work together in partnerships to maximize training efforts and minimize time and expense required in the training process."
