aftermarket players’ business. We stand for an excellent thermal
product offering, but also for a number of value-added after-
sales services, including professional education. Consequently,
we educate our partners, enabling them to be competitive and
proficient in the thermal system service.
Our comprehensive training concept sessions set a new standard
among aftermarket players. The advanced thermal knowledge we
share enables our partners, and their customers, to understand
the engine cooling and climate systems deeply, thus reaching the
required proficiency in maintenance, troubleshooting and repairs.
Now it’s your turn. Join our training concept sessions
and become a true thermal expert.
What makes our training effective?
Excellent thermal knowledge across all segments
Nissens’ Training Concept is designed to deliver valuable thermal systems knowledge across all relevant segments
of automotive market applications – from passenger cars to commercial vehicles, i.e. vans and trucks. Years of
thermal acumen within the automotive and machinery industries enables us to share a high quality and level of
knowledge within engine cooling and air-conditioning systems, including segment-specific and other relevant details.
Complete training program covering automotive engine cooling
ALL
SEGMENTS and climate systems, and segments such as
Cars, Vans, Trucks, and Industrial applications (optional)
Holistic approach to cover all needs
Our training concept has been designed in a way to ideally match the needs of several knowledge levels.
We address the training to all aftermarket players, from trading organizations to garages, and to dedicated specialists.
As each of them is characterized by a different knowledge base, we ensure that everyone will find something valuable
and relevant among the broad range of topics and sections in our training concept sessions.
We match your learning needs.
Depending on the required knowledge, NTC offers
three levels: Basics, Specialist and Expert
We want to teach you, easily
Gaining an advanced thermal knowledge can be really challenging. As the main aim of the concept is to educate, not
to promote, we focus solely on substance, and work to explain technical things in the most understandable manner.
We want our audience to really learn how and why components operate, and thermal processes happen, which is why
our pedagogical and professional dedication to learning pervades both the presentation materials and the trainers’
attitude.
We explain matters logically and simply. We tell stories, show
examples, and present very illustrative pictures and videos. Physical system
and component samples are at your disposal during all training sessions.
Aftermarket specialist
Aftermarket is our specialty, and the place where we’ve thrived since 1921. This offers us an unquestionable
strength in terms of identifying and understanding challenges that are known by the market players. Besides
a deep understanding of the complexity of the thermal systems and related components, we offer deep and
outstanding knowledge based on vehicle makes and models.
We listen to the aftermarket and its needs. Detailed troubleshooting
IAM is one of the key strengths in our concept. We base our knowledge
on reliable expert sources across Europe and America.
Dedicated training professionals
All our trainers are experienced experts with many years in the thermal industry. Covering almost all continents
