ELYRIA, Ohio — Bendix’s 2010 Brake Training School is kicking off its tour on Feb. 16 in South Plainfield, N.J., marking more than 55 years of operation.

The comprehensive Bendix Brake Training School curriculum – conducted by veteran, 100 percent ASE-certified Bendix Service, Warranty, and Training (SWAT) team experts – teaches maintenance professionals the description, operation, and service elements for the total range of components found within foundation and air brake systems.

Additional topics include antilock braking systems (ABS) and stability technologies, such as Bendix ESP Electronic Stability Program. The Bendix Brake Training School includes detailed classroom lectures and operational demonstrations.

Bendix began offering training schools more than 50 years ago, making it among the longest running programs in the industry. To date, more than 250,000 people have successfully completed Bendix training.

“Bendix Brake Training School enables technicians to maintain and improve their knowledge about braking systems, allowing fleets and owner-operators to reduce downtime and service costs,” said John Reid, Bendix SWAT team manager. “Bendix offers the course to keep attendees apprised of the latest technical information regarding the operation and service of air brake and foundation brake systems.”
