Manheim Auctions' Technical Center, located in Nashville, Tenn., has released the remaining 2002 schedule for Condition Report Writing and Frame Structure training classes.

Each class, fully endorsed by the National Auto Auction Association, is admitting 12 enrollees on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Condition Report Writing class is designed to cover the basics of condition report writing, fundamentals of a proper inspection and damage category identification, such as prior repair, frame, flood and hail. The two-day class also covers proper inspection techniques, current industry terminology and collision manual usage.

Frame and Structure is a comprehensive and in-depth overview and interpretation of the NAAA structural damage policy, including identification of automotive frame types, types of damage a structure will incur in a collision and the repair process collision shops are using today.

The two classes are being conducted consecutively, allowing attendees to take advantage of both if desired.
