HELLA Academy
HELLA UK’s brand-new training centre opened in March 2024 and is equipped with a modern classroom and state-of-the-art workshop to blend key theoretical learning with hands-on training.
HELLA Academy’s ADAS IMI AOM 230 course provides technicians with the insurance approval needed to work on ADAS-equipped vehicles while its ADAS L2Award covers calibration, vehicle alignment, workshop requirements and more. Both two-day courses are available to book now.
The IMI predicts that 44 per cent of cars on UK roads will be ADAS-equipped by 2030, requiring 106,000 qualified technicians. However, based on current qualification and training trends, the IMI estimates a shortfall of 51,000 qualified technicians.
HELLA is committed to filling this skills gap through IMI training and working closer with colleges to encourage and support new talent coming into the Aftermarket industry.
