The I-CAR vision is "that every person in the collision industry, current and future, has the necessary knowledge and skills relevant to their position to achieve a complete and safe repair."

Here is what I-CAR has to say about COLORMATCH

TRAINING

I-CAR is committed to providing training that continues to meet the technological demands of the collision industry. Training programs consist of live classes, on-line classes, virtual classes, and a selection of Equivalency Testing opportunities.  Live classes are held at approximately 800 locations in the United States and Canada. Personalized training paths are designed to assist professionals in selecting classes. Locations and schedules are decided by local committees to meet the needs of the local market.

DESIGNATIONS

Automotive collision professionals can obtain prestigious designations that are achieved through sucessfully completing role specific I-CAR programs and post testing.  Individuals achieve Platinum designations that contribute to the establishment and maintenance of Gold Class status for their shops.

MARKETING YOUR BUSINESS
Businesses with Gold Class Professional designation are in the top segment of the industry and can use the designation as a marketing tool.  In addition, more and more insurers today require that body shops in their DRP network have I-CAR Gold Class designation.  Designated shops are listed on the I-CAR website in the on-line Gold Class Business Directory, which allows consumers to search for shops by zip code.

MARKETING YOURSELF
Individuals with the Platinum Designation can document and market their expertise to obtain the best jobs and command the best salaries.
