Delphi Technologies, a brand of BorgWarner Inc, has won ‘Training Scheme of the Year’ at the CAT Awards, held Thursday 9th February at Manchester’s Lowry Hotel.
The renowned industry event saw a capacity crowd of around 150 guests hosted for a three-course lunch. They were also treated to an interview with four-time British Touring Car Championship winner Colin Turkington.
Host James Cannon was master of ceremonies, whilst CAT editor Greg Whittaker provided able assistance throughout the action-packed networking afternoon.
When attention turned to the awards, the first one announced saw Delphi hold off strong competition to capture ‘Training Scheme of the Year’ courtesy of an expert judging panel.
“I’m proud to accept this award on behalf of the team,” said Luke Garratt, UK and Nordics Technical Services Manager at Delphi Technologies. “It’s already been a fantastic start to 2023 and we have some exciting plans so it’s great to receive this level of industry recognition.”
The judging panel had indicated that they were looking for ‘value’ in training as well as evidence of ‘innovative training methods and quality assessment’.
Delphi created their market-leading ‘Delphi Technologies Academy’ for online learning. Since launching in September 2021, the platform has grown to now offer over 300 courses and modules to over 1,200 users.
Face-to-face training is provided in Delphi’s state-of-the-art facility in Warwick. There’s a wide range of modules that can be tailored to leaners’ needs or mapped to the requirements of recognised IMI qualifications.
The training centre includes Delphi’s aftermarket engineering centre as well as classrooms and workshops with a full range of vehicles, test-rigs, workshop equipment and example parts. There’s particular focus on the emerging technologies aftermarket technicians need to prepare for.
Delphi’s blended learning ethos is evident in its EV offering, where demand is booming. Technicians build a foundation of pre-learning in their own time, before completing classroom and workshop training within the centre.
