Training Calendar

VASA members automatically are invited to attend training programs conducted by The Automotive Technician trainers, in conjunction with wholesalers.

As dates are set, they will appear on this calendar.

Any fees for these training workshops, usually one-day events, are set by the sponsoring wholesalers, but in most cases, big discounts are offered to members of VASA Inc AAAE.
