Hi Sean

There are quite a few techs out there that would like to go on training courses, but this is not always withing their control

I have a garage down the road from me that has 4 techs working there, they quite often phone or call in with various diagnostic problems. I have spoken to them about training courses, they seem very keen but their problem is their boss, he does not seem to grasp that he is loosing business through lack of training (head in the sand springs to mind). Another problem is that they only have a KTS, non of the techs went on the training course that come with it

So it is not always the fault of the techs not wanting to learn, unless they took a days holiday and paid for it themselves, its the garage owners that need a kick up the bum

The flip side of the coin is that their lack of training brings me in additonal business. If garages around you were all trained to your stanadard, then you would find yourself in a price war over who can fix the cheapest.......so sometimes a lack of training can be an advantage

PS: I did not take your comments personally ......i would also like to have attended the conference, but when you are on your own its not always easy to take 4 days out
