Training your new workshop staff is extremely important. With new vehicles, more complex trim and electrics, a fitter has to have a basic knowledge of towbar and vehicle issues almost right from the start. Understanding potential risk areas and the knowledge to work within them is a key skill that all towbar fitters should be armed with.

Training within the workplace using this low cost correspondence course gives the opportunity for a new trainee to start on their career path by gaining a solid introduction to towbar fitting and positive progress assessment. Training will significantly reduce safety risks and unnecessary damage costs.

Designed for: HR Managers, Owners and Workshop fitters who wish to start towbar fitting or have responsibility within their organisations for hiring and training new workshop staff.

Summary: The course provides a logical framework of standard towbar fitting and wiring disciplines which combines in-house practical activity with supporting theory. The course is designed to allow a member of workshop or managerial staff to mentor and guide the trainee through the course.
