NWACA hosted the event at Clover Park Technical College for shop owners, technicians, estimators, and educators for repair-ready education
Lakewood, Wash.—The Northwest Auto Care Alliance (NWACA) hosted the 4th Annual CTE Collision Training Expo on May 1–2, at Clover Park Technical College, bringing together collision repair professionals for two days of high-level education, hands-on training, and industry collaboration.
Designed to serve shop owners, technicians, estimators, and educators, the event focused on delivering relevant, real-world training that attendees could immediately apply in their operations.
The event featured nationally recognized instructors, including Mike Anderson from Collision Advice and Craig Stevens from CCC Intelligent Solutions.
A highlight of the event was Anderson’s keynote presentation, “Igniting Excellence,” which emphasized leadership, accountability, and raising the standard of repair across the industry.
In addition to classroom and hands-on instruction, this year’s event introduced an added benefit for instructors, who were able to log training clock hours for their participation.
This year’s event was made possible through the support of key industry partners and sponsors, including Axalta, CCC Intelligent Solutions, Collision Advice, Wesco, Industrial Finishes, Hunter Engineering, WTI, and others.
