Auto Care Association Launches Online Educational Resource

The Auto Care Association has launched Auto Care Academy, a collection of online courses offered to auto care industry professionals, according to a press release.

The platform offers materials for individuals at every stage of their careers, ranging from those entering the industry to those with years of experience.

Auto Care Academy is also collaborating with Northwood University to offer the University of the Aftermarket’s online course catalog in addition to its original content.

Currently, there are two courses offered as part of a data standards series. The first is titled “Introduction to ACES and PIES,” with the second being “Intermediate ACES and PIES.” A third course called “PIES for Heavy Duty” is currently being developed for those in the heavy-duty aftermarket.

Also in development is a comprehensive course titled Aftermarket Essentials, aimed at onboarding and educating new employees about the auto care ecosystem. This course serves as a prerequisite for the University of the Aftermarket’s program, Aftermarket 101.

Those interested in joining the new educational platform may do so by logging into the Auto Care Academy website with their autocare.org credentials. Users may then select and purchase available courses and be granted immediate, lifelong access to the content.
