CORTLAND, N.Y. (May 2, 2013) — The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) announced May 20 is the deadline to register for the Lift Inspector Certification Program workshop in Los Angeles on July 8.
ALI said the Los Angeles stop is one of two left this year in the U.S. The final workshop will be held during the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas on Nov. 8, with registration no later than Sept. 20.
The sessions offered at each site are as follows:
July 8 in Los Angeles):
- Participant's orientation;
- Pre-course exam only; and
- Register no later than May 20.
Nov. 8 at the SEMA Show:
- Participant's orientation;
- Pre-course exam;
- Course exam; and
- Register no later than Sept. 20.
ALI said each location will have something to offer for participants at varying stages of the certification process. Those who have already been introduced to the program will have the opportunity to take the pre-course exam. In Las Vegas, candidates who had previously passed the pre-course exam may take the course exam, ALI said.
"We've organized workshops in cities across North America to make it as convenient as possible for candidates to participate," said Dale Soos, senior project engineer for ALI. "Turnout at the sessions we've held so far has been great. Since the program kickoff in October, more than 450 candidates have enrolled."
ALI said the orientations are open exclusively to inspector candidates and responsible employees. Workshop registration is included in the Lift Inspector Certification Program fee, which is discounted to $1,000 through Sept. 30. The fee also includes a Candidate Handbook and extensive course materials.
There is a testing fee required to take the pre-course or course exam. To reserve a seat at one of the upcoming sessions, email [email protected] or call 607-756-7775.
