State’s Berryman Receives Snap-on Certification
BIRMINGHAM, AL - Lawson State
Community College’s Alabama Center for
Automotive Excellence (ACAE) is growing at a
fast pace. The college was recently selected
to become a Regional Diagnostic Training and
Certification Center, one of only four in the
nation. And now to add to that accomplishment,
Tom Berryman has become the only Snap-on certified
instructor in the region
Snap-on is a global leader in
tools, diagnostics, equipment, software and
service solutions for professional users. Founded
in 1920, Snap-on is a $2.8 billion, S&P
500 Company headquartered in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Snap-on diagnostic tools (Ethos, Solus, and
Modis) make up nearly 65% of the aftermarket
automotive diagnostic tools in the U.S.
Lawson’s ACAE provides training
and certification for automotive instructors,
students and professional technicians who use
Snap-on diagnostic tools. The first schedule
of programs for the Southeastern region will
begin at the college in December. Thereafter,
the first schedule of classes will be offered
every two weeks until the beginning of July.
“This is a great addition to the Alabama
Center for Automotive Excellence,” said
President Perry W. Ward. “Through these
efforts, the ACAE continues to grow its regional
and national reputation.”
Certification raises the level
of excellence for all in the industry which
assures vehicle owners and potential employers
of technicians that the technician has the skill
sets to repair computer-controlled vehicles
successfully.
The Alabama Center for Automotive
Excellence (ACAE) at Lawson State Community
College is home to Ford-ASSET, GM-ASEP, and
Toyota T-TEN training programs. The ACAE also
offers Auto Body Repair, Automotive Technician,
and Medium and Heavy Truck Technician programs.
