Manheim Announces Condition Report Writing and Frame Structure Class Schedule
Manheim Auctions’ Technical Center in Nashville, Tenn., on May 29 released its condition report writing and frame structure class schedule.
“These classes are an example of the auction industry’s commitment to raising the quality of service in the business,” Peter Lukasiak, executive director, National Auto Auction Association (NAAA), said. “We really appreciate the effort Manheim has taken in putting together these courses at its technical center.”
The condition report writing class covers the basics of condition report writing, fundamentals of a proper inspection, current industry terminology and collision manual usage. The course takes two days to complete.
The frame and structure class provides a comprehensive review of the NAAA’s structural damage policy and takes only one day to complete.
“We’re offering top-quality training with a class schedule that has been set up to make it convenient to complete both courses consecutively,” said Dan Dietsch, managing director of the technical center. “The auto auction industry is working hard to raise the level of professionalism in every aspect of our business, and the more auction representatives who learn the latest standards in condition report writing and frame structure, the better off the entire industry will be.”
Each class has space for 12 people, and each will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information on Manheim Auctions’ Technical Center or to sign up for a class, call Ella Rainbolt at (615) 846-4617. The training schedule is as follows.
