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(R) Repair S3000(SM),
ALLDATA(R) Collision S3500(SM), and ALLDATA(R) Manage(SM). Two more ALLDATA(R)
Manage(SM) 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.
Stop by booth #3265 for a personal demonstration of the ALLDATA Training Center
