VARTA Training Academy integrates E-learning into VARTA Partner Portal

A fresh batch of battery E-learning, courtesy of the VARTA Training Academy, is now available via the VARTA Partner Portal.

Stop/Start technology is addressed, as well as general topics like warehousing and storage, along with technical matters including vibration resistance and deep cycling capabilities. Looking ahead, a series on drivetrain electrification and the role of the 12V battery in electric vehicles is already in development.

The courses will complement VARTA’s other offerings, such as its YouTube-channel educational playlists, technical articles in the Battery World, its Battery Finder and more. The content has been designed to balance the company’s ongoing face-to-face-training offering.

Ulrich Germann, Training and Technical Support Manager at the VARTA Training Academy commented: “Our E-Learning offerings are aimed at everyone who deals with batteries in their daily business. We want technicians and sales advisors, wholesalers and retailers to be able to understand the new technologies and today’s complex vehicles. We want to share our profound knowledge in a user-centric approach so that our customers can be successful in their daily business.”

John Rawlins, Marketing Manager UK and Ireland, added: “We are very pleased to be able to support the UK and Irish aftermarkets with these free-to-access E-learning courses, and hope that technicians and factor staff find them useful and informative. Our intention is to provide bitesize online training to complement the face-to-face training we already provide; we don’t intend to stop that.”
