Motofix Group is extending its partnership with Thatcham Research to provide access to ecademy for all its 200-plus workforce for the next three years.
ecademy is Thatcham Research’s online learning management system. Included within the package is content addressing key EV competences as well personalised assessment tools and learning plans.
Motofix had already provided its apprentices with access to Thatcham Research’s blended learning programmes though the Automotive Academy, but this extension is intended to safeguard the skills of safety of its entire workforce.
Motofix chairman, Richard Tutt said: “ecademy is the perfect solution for developing the technical knowledge and awareness of changing vehicle technology. This is essential for all our site teams, especially around ADAS and HEV, whether they are technicians or non-technical members of the team and we are delighted to be working with Thatcham Research on this new learning opportunity.
“The ecademy virtual training solution provides a significant financial benefit for Motofix, not only in terms of driving travel and accommodation cost-savings but also because our teams can remain on location and blend their learning with their day-to-day business responsibilities.”
Dean Lander, head of repair sector services, Thatcham Research, said: “The guiding principle of ensuring safe and efficient vehicle repair is very much at the heart of both businesses. As such, we are proud to expand our relationship with Motofix, an organisation that prioritises professional growth not only for skilled technicians but also the wider business, ensuring that all staff have easy access to knowledge development tools and can stay in touch with ever-evolving vehicle repair dynamics.”
