---------------------------------------------Originally posted by AiredOutI-car certifications in the body wrok field really dont mean much. If your good your good, if your not your not. The guy in our shop with the most i-car points, is also the least experienced tech in the shop, hes actually a bodymans helper. ---------------------------------------------I agree and disagree at the same point, the person who had the most points in our shop was a helper too, but he had so many points because he went to one of the big auto body schools and it was kinda a free be with the regular tests. But if you didnt get them in school and spent the time going to the classes they have, then to me, and the shop owners i know, it shows a want for contiuned education in the field, and since its changeing all the time it can be a good thing. I take as may of the classes as i can but my boss pays for them.and you can go to
www.i-car.com for the info in your area classes are not cheap around 100 for 4 hours and 1 point, but as you get gold and platuim certified you can get discount coupons. every time i look at my class over view sheet and see the current 15 points i realize that my boss has put out a bunch of money for training,
