For more insight and understanding behind the wheel: The OMNIplus ExpertHandling Training teaches correct use of assistance systems! 🚍   Real professionals never stop learning – which is why comprehensive training is so important. Andreas Hirsch, Managing Director of Hirsch Reisen GmbH, knows this too.   The company completely replaced its fleet of four Setra ComfortClass S 515 HD vehicles with next-generation models. To help his drivers make the most of the new generation of Setra touring coaches, Hirsch booked the ExpertHandling Training with OMNIplus. 🙌   Nils Ungericht, former DriverTraining Coordinator at OMNIplus and now manager of the Daimler Buses Service Center in Herrenberg, focuses on assistance systems such as Active Brake Assist 5 and Active Drive Assist 2 in the theoretical part. In the practical part, the drivers then get hands-on experience with these systems in real driving situations.   Our training not only brings drivers up to date, but also fulfills the legal requirements of the German Professional Driver Qualification Act (BKrFQG). 🙌   When will you experience our training?

In honor of National Auto Service Professional Week, we extend our thanks to all technicians who keep Americans, families, and companies on the road. Your hard work ensures kids make it to school. Your dedication to safety helps us all make it home. Your belief in the industry highlights the opportunities within it and supports new entrants in not only joining the skilled workforce, but STAYING in it. We recognize that the automotive industry has opportunities for positive change: • An increased focus on internal training and continuous learning • Improved pathways for new technicians to gain confidence and skills over time • An enhanced general perception of the industry as a whole While most “let’s improve the industry” discussions happen at a national level, implementing change is quickest in our own backyards. When localized improvements take place across the country, we will begin to turn the tide. Thank you, technicians, for all you do. Let’s keep making the industry better together. #NationalAutoServiceProfessionalWeek #AutoService #Mentoring

ProseraPod: Ask Ron Besuijen 🎙 How does dynamic simulation fit into the development of an effective training program? Ron's Response:🎙 Most programs to train and qualify panel operators start the same way. The trainee will read all the associated manuals which are usually followed by some written or electronic test questions. These questions can also be about the associated procedures, or the procedures are reviewed with a qualified operator. All very good strategies to get to know the process. Even with all this training, I believe most panel operators would say they struggled when they had to handle their first process upset and that they did not feel prepared to make the required decisions. The analogy I like to use is if we trained a Formula 1 driver on the freeway. They would get some great experience traveling at 70 MPH and although the experience can seem scary to some, it does not compare to a Formula 1 race. They can be traveling at speeds over 200 MPH and then must prepare for a hairpin corner. Could you imagine how poorly they would perform if the first time they drove on a Formula 1 racetrack was on race day? This is what we are asking of our panel operators if we do not allow them to practice upset responses prior to an event in the actual process. Except I believe our processes are more complex than a Formula 1 race. This is why we should have a simulator training program. A simulator training program consists of preparatory work and hands-on experience, where board operators practice key routines such as startup, emergency procedures, and handling malfunctions or failures. These will be covered in future ProseraPods. https://lnkd.in/gN3zdqxG #Prosera #ProseraPod #InnovateAtProsera #OperatorTraining #Operator #Manufacturing
