ELK GROVE, Calif., Oct. 17, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ALLDATA LLC, the leading provider of vehicle manufacturers' service and repair information for professional mechanical and collision repair shops, has developed a new convenient training option for customers, the online ALLDATA Training Center. Launched in late August, over 400 customers have already taken advantage of this service. Demonstrations will be given in booth #3265 at the 2011 Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX), November 1-3, in Las Vegas.
"The Training Center is an interactive website where customers can learn how to use ALLDATA products," explained Marsha Egbert, Manager of Organizational Development. "Access is available 24/7 so customers can quickly get the most out of their product subscriptions."
"The ALLDATA Training Center complements our products and gives customers another option for mastering all the features we pack into our products," said ALLDATA Training and Sales Development Manager, Peter Jones. "This is a flexible option that incorporates proven learning methodologies, and it lets busy shop personnel train on their schedule."
Currently, there are 12 courses available covering ALLDATA® Repair S3000SM, ALLDATA® Collision S3500SM, and ALLDATA® ManageSM. Two more ALLDATA® ManageSM courses are in production, and several additional courses are planned. Courses are usually less than 20 minutes and they are divided into modules. A customer can decide to take an entire course or just view specific modules.
Customers can view titles and courses descriptions without logging onto the site, but they will need a username and password to take courses. For more information about the ALLDATA Training Center and to obtain log on information, ALLDATA customers can visit www.alldata.com or call 800-697-2533.
