Oct. 14, 2015—The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) and National Occupational Competency Testing Institute (NOCTI), a leader in creating customized and standardized credentialing solutions for career and education programs, announced on Tuesday plans to work together to promote NOCTI’s automotive-related credentials and ALI’s Lifting it Right online safety training courses.
Representatives from the two organizations signed a memorandum of understanding during the annual Petty’s Garage Car Show presented by ALI last week in Randleman, N.C.
The agreement states that NOCTI will help promote Lifting it Right, an online vehicle lift safety certificate course hosted by NASCAR’s Richard and Kyle Petty.
“It has been my pleasure to help educate technicians about lift safety for the past nine years,” Richard Petty said. “I look forward to the additional exposure this agreement with NOCTI will provide to ALI’s lift safety message and Lifting It Right.”
ALI agreed to work with NOCTI to promote its automotive-related credentials, such as Automotive Technician—Advanced, Collision Repair, and Heavy Equipment Maintenance and Repair.
“We believe this is a great partnership that will enhance the skills training of anyone working with any sort of vehicle – from motorcycles to big rigs – and more importantly, it will help keep technicians safe,” said John C. Foster, Ph.D., president and CEO of NOCTI.“We also look forward to building on this initiative with our friends at ALI.”
