REPXPERT Academy Live returns in May

REPXPERT Academy Live is coming back on Saturday 21 May, and is being held at the brand-new location of The SREAM Academy at Bridgend College’s recently opened Pencoed campus.


Visitors will be able to learn about the latest technologies, tools, and product installation skills from the Schaeffler REPXPERT team, in four 45-minute training sessions.

A spokesman for Schaeffler’s REPXPERT team said: “Each session is designed to offer garage owners and professional technicians a taster of the complete one or two-day IMI certified training packages available from Schaeffler directly, or through its distribution partners. Even though they are ‘taster’ sessions, they are packed full of valuable tips, tricks, and best practice advice, so IMI members can still claim CPD points for a full day of training.”

Schaeffler will also be offering an introduction to LuK Double Clutch Systems, as well as a Timing Belt Workshop from Tim Adams, with the alternative title of ‘How to avoid expensive mistakes!’

Local garage owner Hayley Pells of Avia Autos is supporting the event, as well as hosting a training session on ‘Pathway to EV’. Another local garage owner, Tim Benson, will be the second guest presenter, with an all-new workshop business masterclass.

During the breaks, the workshop becomes the focus, where visitors can browse the Laser tools display, chat with garage management system suppliers TechMan, check out the latest from braking specialists Brembo, or visit the REPXPERT van to learn more about our award-winning technical platform.

Entry to REPXPERT Academy LIVE is free of charge and includes complimentary breakfast, lunch, and refreshments throughout. Doors open at 9am, with training starting at 10am, and the event will finish at 4pm.
