With battery identification, maintenance, testing and replacement becoming increasing complex, Yuasa distributor in Ireland has stepped up to provide the very best level of battery customer service by having its staff fully complete all modules in the Yuasa Battery online training academy. It has become the first battery distributor in Ireland to make such a move and in doing so the company hopes to promote improved battery knowledge and information in the market. 

The GS Yuasa Academy is a comprehensive online battery learning platform featuring 22 detailed training modules covering every step of a battery’s journey, from leaving the shelf, through ongoing maintenance, to end of service life. It also includes vital modules on the identification of a correct battery for an application, battery installation and coding and battery testing. 

Each module blends engaging video content with downloadable support material and can be completed at a pace that suits participants from the comfort of their home or workplace. By completing the course participants not only gain valuable knowledge and understanding of batteries, but can also claim CPD and IMI accreditation. 

Stephen Lawless, Somora Sales Manager commented, “We asked all of our internal and external sales teams and anyone who handles batteries to complete the course. Everyone found it very interesting and informative. It is easy to think you know all about batteries, but when you complete the course it is a genuine eye opener in terms of the knowledge and practical information you gain.”

Stephen says the programme is suitable for both garage and motor factor staff keen to broaden their battery knowledge and is completely free. It can be accessed by registering at  https://academy.gs-yuasa.eu/

To coincide we the peak battery season, Somora have also introduced a free snack pack promotion with all Yuasa batteries and will be kicking off a special Somora-Yuasa jacket promotion in the lead up to Christmas.
