GS Yuasa Academy expands

Three years on from its original launch, GS Yuasa has takeen its battery training online platform onto the continent by including content in German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.

GS Yuasa Academy has been available to English-speakers since 2019, and is still going strong according to Peter Whittaker, General Marketing – Automotive and Motorcycle Engineering at GS Yuasa Battery Europe: “The reaction to GS Yuasa Academy has been fantastic. Our customers have been impressed with the wide range of courses on offer, how these battery related topics are broken down into easy-to-follow, bite sized modules, and how upon completion of each course a downloadable certificate is achieved.

“We launched the system in 2019 and since then have trained thousands of users. An understanding of batteries is essential for all technicians to ensure that batteries are stored, applicated and fitted correctly. We already had a comprehensive training programme in place, but GS Yuasa Academy offers industry leading training to as many workshops as possible.”

Jon Pritchard, General Sales & Marketing Manager at GS Yuasa Battery Sales UK added: “The addition of the free GS Yuasa Academy enhances the offer to our customers and to the workshops that fit our batteries. It is designed to help businesses grow by improving customer service, reducing warranty returns and maximising battery business potential.”
