Join author Luke Thompson in a discussion that includes time to reflect on the value of your training program, not only to provide organized instruction, but also to provide lasting resources to support students. When our students learn to be resourceful, they learn to solve problems on their own. Teaching students to create resources leads to efficiency and accuracy, and that leads to a better prepared technician. In this session, you will take away classroom strategies and a chance to preview hands-on activities, videos, and step-by-step instruction in the new Maintenance and Light Repair Technician Suite.

G-W Ignite for Maintenance and Light Repair Technician, featuring Hands-On Maintenance and Light Repair, is the online, self-paced program that provides 60 step-by-step lessons packed with videos, useful photographs, and clear explanations of service procedures so students can review just enough theory to successfully master tasks in the shop. As students work on cars, they record vehicle data, answer critical-thinking questions, and demonstrate their ability to perform MLR tasks that employers require. Student work is reviewable by the instructor and graded with provided rubrics, while pre and post-tests are auto-graded and provide data points for student growth.

For programs that need even more theory coverage to support classroom lecture hours, the Maintenance and Light Repair Technician textbook offers concise, easy-to-read content needed to successfully complete skills on the MLR task list. This title provides the content to develop students into professional technicians, using case study examples and best practices, career profiles and soft skills, advanced technologies, and ASE certification preparation for the MLR exam.
