Volvo, Mack Offer eLearning for Techs

Volvo Group truck manufacturers Volvo Trucks and Mack Trucks are offering 90 days of free e-learning for high school and secondary technical education students.

The free courses are available for students interested in diesel technician training but who cannot participate in hands-on courses due to Covid-19 restrictions on gatherings. The courses will be offered through Volvo Truck and Mack dealers.

With stay-at-home and social distancing mandates in place during the pandemic, students do not currently have access to learning in a typical classroom setting. The Volvo Trucks Academy and Mack Trucks Academy are making available a portion of the Technical Education Support (TES) online training and resources currently available to Volvo and Mack diesel technicians.

Training will cover an array of topics including engines, transmissions, and other components. The TES90 online courses will be offered through local dealerships, which have relationships with eligible schools interested in enrolling. Program availability and training content will be provided by the dealer and accessed through the Trucks Customer Portal. The dealer will provide access to the training content and will communicate the availability of online training to the schools, with which they already have relationships. Schools will enroll through their local dealer.
