Education
Training Programs
Technical, business, and consumer-protection training tailored for collision repair shops and staff in Utah and Colorado.
Why training matters
Training built around what the work demands
ADAS systems are now involved in more than one in four collision repairs (CCC Intelligent Solutions), and electric vehicle repair costs run 46.9% higher than comparable ICE repairs. What a shop knew three years ago may not cover the vehicle in the bay today.
MSCRA's monthly webinars keep members current on the technical, business, and advocacy topics that change fastest. Members who want formal I-CAR training can reach program information through the member portal.
Why it matters
28.3%
of all repairable claims now require ADAS calibration, and insurers routinely dispute or underpay it (CCC Intelligent Solutions). The collision repair technician shortage is projected to reach 100,000 unfilled positions over the next five years (TechForce Foundation).
Program tracks
What we cover
MSCRA runs monthly webinars across these core tracks. Sessions run approximately 60 minutes, include a live question-and-answer period, and are recorded for member access in the portal.
ADAS Calibration Cost Recovery
How to document calibration requirements, structure supplements for reimbursement, and respond when an insurer refuses coverage. ADAS calibration is now required on 28.3% of all repairable claims (CCC Intelligent Solutions).
EV Repair Readiness
Electric vehicle collision costs run 46.9% higher than comparable ICE repairs (CCC Intelligent Solutions). This track covers the equipment your shop needs before accepting EV collision work, the training pathways available, and how to handle a job that arrives before your shop is fully equipped.
Technician Recruitment and Retention
The industry faces a projected shortage of 100,000 technicians over the next five years (TechForce Foundation). This track covers recruitment channels that work for small independent shops, compensation structures that compete with dealerships, and apprenticeship options in Utah and Colorado.
