CDI Electronics announces it has scheduled a third Outboard Ignition School slated for Feb. 18-21, 2004 and also plans to add an advanced class in late 2004 for the dozens of students that have already participated in the 40-hour training sessions.
As the sponsors of the marine industryÂ’s only formal training on outboard ignition systems, CDI Electronics decided to schedule the February class to meet the high demand for seats.
“The students from the first two classes were so impressed, they requested an advanced seminar,” said Ray Anders, President, CDI Electronics. “We have plans for two more basic classes next fall and we will now add an advanced class for those who have taken the basic training sessions or who can pass a written test exhibiting their knowledge of the outboard ignition systems.”
The first successful CDI Electronics Ignition School was held at the companyÂ’s Madison, Alabama manufacturing facility in late October. The second session was held in early December and was filled to capacity.
Marine technicians from 16 states and Australia and Canada completed the first two hands-on courses and obtained both Certificates for Technical Achievement and shirt patches verifying their outboard electronic ignition training.
CDI Electronics found a need for specialized training in todayÂ’s state-of-the-art ignition products and in keeping with its commitment to continuing education for technicians decided to develop this school, according to Anders.
CDI Electronics, the new product division of Rapair, Inc., has been the leader in marine ignition technology for more than 20 years. For more information on attending the Ignition School, please visit our website at http://www. rapair. com (http://www. rapair. com) or call (800) 467-0982.
