As part of the training program, participants were also given a tour of IC Bus’ assembly plants for their standard and electric school buses and learned about the assembly process.
On the last day of training, a “Skills Competition Event” was held to test participants on their maintenance skills and knowledge. The competition required participants to inspect and find faulty issues on five buses using proper diagnostic tools and procedures while also adhering to safety protocols. Topics included Cummins, PSI Propane, Air Conditioning, Advanced Electrical, and Braun lift. Additionally, two of the five bus assessments were timed.
