IMI offers training at Automechanika Frankfurt

The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), the professional body for the automotive sector and Automechanika's Global Skills Partner, has announced it will be hosting live training seminars for visitors at the world's leading trade event.

Bringing together thousands of automotive supply and aftermarket companies on an international platform, the IMI is partnering with organisations like Bosch, DEKRA and BMW to give visitors the opportunity to gain CPD points through training seminars whilst they visit the event.

Raising the awareness of the importance of vocational skills and training across the automotive sector, the IMI will be giving their stamp of approval by certificating the training courses taking place across the 5 days. Training topics include systematic car damage assessments, high-voltage systems, paint refinishing, and bodywork repairs for the BMW 5 Series.

Mark Forshaw, business development manager at the IMI, said, 'The IMI is delighted to be working with a variety of CPD partners at Automechanika Frankfurt as part of a new initiative to enhance peoples experience when visiting the show. The training available will give people the opportunity to gain further knowledge, whilst receiving CPD points from the IMI during their visit.

'As the only automotive specific professional body, we continue to champion quality training and believes it's more important than ever to invest in our workforces. By providing employees with the skills and knowledge we can help secure a strong future for our sector.'
