Lakewood, Wash.—The association’s Automotive Training Expo (ATE) that was postponed in March due to Covid-19 has now become a virtual training event that will be held Aug. 3-6. Registration is available at www.atetrainingexpo.com.
“We are excited to be the first automotive trade association to offer a virtual training event like this,” said Jeff Lovell, ASA Northwest president and executive director. “ASA Northwest/ATE is working with CTI-WTI, and Advance Professional, so that this training will eventually be available to the entire industry. They are supporting ASA Northwest with everything they have, and we would not be able to produce this quality event without their help.”
