Recently completing its sixth year, the Bendix Online Brake School has surpassed 80,000 registered users, serving them through 24/7/365 access to topics in demand, according to Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems.
Drivers, technicians, distributors, fleet personnel, owner-operators and others turn to brake-school.com for the most current and in-depth technical training available, the company noted.
“Access to information and opportunities to keep skills sharp is vitally important, especially with the rapid pace of change when it comes to commercial vehicle technology,” said Barbara Gould, Bendix director of corporate communications. “That’s why our goal has never wavered since we opened access to brake-school.com in March of 2013 – namely, to deliver easily understandable, readily available, no-cost training from our team of experts. We’re very proud that the Bendix brake-school.com portal has been so widely used by so many across our industry. We look forward to serving as a valuable resource for many years to come.”
Subjects range from overall education on product features and operation to troubleshooting, diagnostics and maintenance best practices.
Bendix also develops customized training channels through its online brake school, offering specialized programs for organizations spanning all segments of the commercial vehicle industry.
“We’ve thoughtfully grown our online portal to ensure the content is an ideal tool to integrate into customer and fleet training programs,” Gould said. “With over 70 current courses and more on the way each month, we aim to explore complex systems in-depth, via a site that’s easy to navigate. We also regularly craft customized educational plans for industry organizations and fleets of all sizes, working closely with them to meet their specific technical needs.”
Brake-school.com students represent more than two dozen countries, and the site’s 24/7/365 availability enables participants to study on their own schedules. Registered users of the password-protected site are presented with a broad range of opportunities, including interactive presentation modules and videos. Learning progress is measured through knowledge checks following each course.
