The target group is entry-level service employees such as porters, detail shop workers and quick-lane staff. According to the company, the program takes people at the lowest technician level and trains them up to a higher level, so that a dealership develops technicians internally instead of relying only on hiring experienced ones.

The program is described as two five-day training sessions held about a month apart, combining classroom teaching with hands-on learning and testing. In the first phase, students learn the fundamentals of engine technology, which they can build on later.

In the second phase they get hands-on practice and are introduced to specific shop equipment.

DealerPRO presents the program as addressing two things at once: the immediate need for skilled technicians and growth opportunities for the employees, with retention as a stated benefit for the dealership. A dedicated Technician Career Path website, run under the program name, describes the training and how to enroll.

DealerPRO Training is based in Columbus, Ohio, according to its LinkedIn page. The company describes itself as a provider of specialized fixed operations training.

A separate Auto Success piece on addressing the technician shortage places the program among other training approaches.

This is a workforce and training product, so evaluation is about people and results. A fixed operations director would ask how candidates are chosen from inside the store, what the time away from the shop costs in lost labor hours, what happens after the two sessions, how progress is tested and recorded, what certifications the training leads toward, and how it fits with manufacturer training requirements.

Confirm each point directly. Verify each integration first.
