Ford & Slater Coventry has 500th IRTEC accredited technician
11/11/2011
DAF Trucks which signed up to the Institute of Road Transport Engineers Certificate (IRTEC) technician accreditation scheme in January 2011, has had 500 technicians accredited since becoming the first truck manufacturer to adopt the scheme throughout its entire dealer network. The 500th technician was Steve Jones from Ford & Slater Coventry - pictured in front of the new Ford & Slater Coventry dealership.
The scheme assesses the competence of technicians who maintain and repair HGVs, with the technician assessments undertaken by the FTA. Tony Shepherd, DAF's After Sales Services Manager, said:
“The irtec accreditation scheme, which is fully endorsed by all our dealerships and technicians, is raising standards to the highest possible level across our entire network. The aim is for all our technicians to receive accreditation over the next two years or so, giving our customers the utmost confidence in our ability to provide a consistently high standard of service.”
“With the ever increasing focus on OCRS, DAF believes that DAFcheck (DAF’s electronic service sheets) coupled with irtec technician licensing, gives every truck operator the best opportunity to protect their O-licence.”
