SKF Automotive has announced that the company’s SKF Tech center is now available to the North American aftermarket. The free online resource includes E-learning courses, a video library, and a document library.

According to Isabella Nordström, Marketing Manager, SKF Vehicle Aftermarket, “The purpose of the tech center is to both provide technical training resources for the mechanics and parts pros who work with SKF aftermarket products, as well as to allow these professionals to become more familiar with all the products and support resources that SKF has to offer them.”
The online learning section of the SKF Tech center employs video-based instruction. It is designed to allow participants to proceed at their own pace, and those who complete the learning modules receive a certificate of course completion after each module’s exam. 19 learning modules are available, covering topics such as bearings, wheel end service, and much more.
The Tech center video library includes tips on repair and parts replacement procedures as well as videos on some of SKF’s leading edge technologies and world-wide capabilities. There are currently 596 videos included, with playlists based on language/region.
