Commercial vehicle technical training is more important than ever: Bendix hears this repeatedly in its conversations with fleets across North America. For more than 50 years, the company has made it a priority to understand and deliver on that critical need. That commitment continues as Bendix kicks off its 2025 brake school sessions, hosting multiday classes across the country from March to December.
Bendix will host in-person and virtual training opportunities for fleet technicians, owner-operators, and others to enhance the skills necessary for keeping vehicles on the road and in safe operating condition. To address market demand, Bendix has expanded the availability of its two-day Bendix Advanced Technology Training class. This highly attended course rounds out the Bendix training schedule, which also includes the tried-and-true three-day Bendix Air Brake Training class.
“Technicians operate in a fast-changing commercial vehicle landscape, where safety components advance rapidly,” said Nicole Oreskovic, Bendix vice president of sales and marketing in a press release. “Carriers are under intense pressure to maintain overall safety, performance, and uptime. At the same time, they strive to lower their total cost of ownership. It’s in this environment that Bendix maintains its decades-long dedication to providing comprehensive, convenient training.”
Oreskovic continued, “Among the unique aspects of the company’s in-person training schools are the air boards used for instruction. The Bendix air system boards, in particular, feature a working Bendix Wingman Fusion system to help students receive a robust overview of the company’s collision mitigation technology, along with other critical parts of the Bendix air braking system.”
In-person opportunities on the 2025 calendar cover 13 states. They include 20 sessions of Bendix’s three-day Air Brake Training class – long recognized as setting the industry training standard – beginning March 4-6 at company headquarters in Avon, Ohio.
Five sessions of the two-day Bendix Advanced Technology Training program are scheduled: three in Avon and two in Reno, Nev., with the first taking place April 1-2 in Avon.
Bendix has scheduled two sessions of its three-day virtual training class, with one scheduled on Eastern Time and the other on Mountain Time for the convenience of attendees in western North America.
Registration is open for the complete schedule of both courses, shown at the end of this news release. A member of the Bendix Tech Training Team conducts every class. The training team is led by a Master-level, ASE-certified technical trainer.
The two-day Bendix Advanced Technology Training class picks up where the Air Brake Training class ends. It covers the operation and troubleshooting of advanced safety systems and software. Topics include:
- Antilock braking systems (ABS)
- AutoVue Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System from Bendix CVS
- Bendix ESP Electronic Stability Program full-stability system
- Bendix Wingman Advanced – A Collision Mitigation Technology
- Bendix Wingman Fusion, the company’s flagship driver assistance system family
- SmarTire and SmarTire Trailer-Link Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) by Bendix CVS.
The Advanced Technology Training program includes hands-on, in-depth maintenance instruction for Bendix air disc brakes and electrical diagnostics.
