ADVANCED TRAINING FOR THE ESTIMATING PROFESSIONAL
Writing an accurate estimate and constructing a litigation worthy work-file are the core concepts behind the MVP Advanced Estimating Skills course. Technology as well as advancements in vehicle construction and very specific repair procedures are a few examples that drive the need for continuing education for front-line estimators. This course covers current topics such as how to interpret and apply OE repair information to estimates, how to evaluate specialty finishes and identify not-included refinish labor operations and paint material considerations regarding specialty finishes and a close evaluation of what’s included and what’s not when estimating welded-on panels and using line notes to support estimate entries and more. Each subject is accompanied by an interactive exercise where participants can apply the knowledge and practice substantiating their estimate lines.
Two years estimating experience is highly recommended for MVP Advanced Estimating Skills course as many of the exercises require participants to be proficient navigating procedure pages and OE repair procedures.
