NMEDA-Manufacturer Required Electrical Training

NMEDA Electrical Training Online Part 1 is now required prior to entering regular hands-on manufacturer training for Braun, VMI, Freedom Sciences, ElDorardo and Bruno. This requirement is mandatory for each dealer technician entering the above manufacturer trainings.

Course and Requirements

The NMEDA Electrical Training Online Part 1 is basic Electrical training generic to the industry. You must score 75% or higher to pass and receive a 2-year certificate. You can retake the tests as many times as needed. The course takes about 2.5-3 hours to complete and can be taken anytime. The certificate is accepted by Braun, VMI, Freedom Mobility, ElDorado, and Bruno as a pre-hands-on training requirement. One trainee certificate can be used to satisfy all five manufacturers pre-hands-on training requirements for that trainee and is valid for 2 years.

If the trainee should fail the test, they will be required to pay the full course fee and retake the test until a passing grade is received.

Deadline to Complete the Pre-requisite Training

Each manufacturer will set a deadline for your technicians to successfully pass the NMEDA Electrical Training Online. They will set their deadline with enough reasonable time prior to their hands-on training.

Benefits:

• Dealers will be able to get Basic Electrical Training Part 1 requirement fulfilled before techs enter Braun, VMI, Freedom Mobility, Bruno or ElDorado hands-on trainings. In other words, two requirements filled in one place instead of two places - a first for this type of industry training!
• Having one of the three typical training days online makes it possible for us to offer this training at a lower price than ever before.
• Increased trainee accountability via online test tracking will ensure that dealers’ investment in the training results in real learning outcomes. Techs can’t advance until they pass and they won’t pass unless they’ve really mastered the material.
• “Industry wide best practices” means that for the first time in this industry, we’ll have a curriculum that all of the major manufacturers have agreed is essential for dealer techs to learn.
• “Saves Dealer travel time and opportunity costs” means that because we will offer only 2 day hands-on electrical training instead of 3 days (online course covers that missing day) our costs will be lower and so will the Dealers’ opportunity costs (there is a detailed calculation in this attachment showing how they’ll save up to $1010 / technician by participating in Basic Electrical Training Part 1.)
