Founder Of Award Winning Sonus Car Audio Ready To Launch New Training Center

Construction has commenced on the new EVOL Installer Factory training facility in Clarksville, TN after nearly two years of careful planning and evaluation, with the sole purpose of creating a campus that fully incorporates the real-world, hands-on training that has made Sonus Evolution training programs so successful and well attended over the last few years. This new training center will create an upscale, professional environment for corporate and manufacturer training as well.

A new technician ‘rating’ system has been developed extensively by Micah Williams, founder of Sonus Car Audio and Sonus Evolution/EVOL products and training programs, and it will be incorporated in a newly designed long-term training program that will help train new technicians, and reestablish veterans with the skills and knowledge needed to work on today’s vehicles. With the many obstacles and technical hurdles faced by technicians in even some of the simplest installation tasks nowadays, these skills are essential for everyday business, and can significantly increase the technician’s capability and their overall effectiveness in their role in any shop.

The rating system itself is meant to be a sort of bio of the technician’s strengths and weaknesses – which helps get them into the role that they are best suited for, but also allows shop owners to obtain more focused training for these technicians in their weaker areas to help them advance and become more of an asset to the company. This also helps shop owners looking to fill roles in their company by being able to access a verified talent pool of technicians to find the candidate that possess the traits required to make an immediate positive impact on the business. A real-time rating update system also allows shop owners to monitor progress of employees at a training to keep the owner engaged, and the technician motivated.

The training programs offer up to 1,280 hours of training, including classroom work, hands-on training in different areas of expertise, and a focused realization of their capabilities in each category. Tuition varies based on the program, and tuition assistance is available for almost any budget. Direct billing and invoicing is ready for manufacturers who send employees or retailers for training as well.

All programs cover the following:

  • MECP Certification Testing
  • Training on audio, video, tint, remote start, upholstery, radar, safety systems, and metalworking
  • Sound Quality demonstration and tuning techniques by proven competition champions
  • Advanced fabrication techniques with composites, alloys, and specialized tooling
  • Sales training with a focus on client interaction and habit coaching
  • Store and shop management skills and daily routine coaching to promote efficiency
  • Priority access and discounts to annual EVOL training events and products
  • Career path placement services through our extensive network of mobile electronics stores

Completion of the facility and all related items are expected by mid-May 2016, and technician training programs and manufacturer trainings are already being booked for a June kickoff. The effort is expected to realize a much needed industry standard of technician evaluation to allow shop owners to gauge and improve their staff, and to choose the right replacement candidates going forward. It is also expected to give mobile electronics manufacturers a third-party platform and facility to train retailers and employees, or hold events to promote regional and corporate events.

EVOL products and training programs are the brainchild of the founder of the award winning Sonus Car Audio, and are based on actual hands-on experience and expertise. These skills and the associated products are promoted to businesses worldwide to help them achieve a higher level of installation capability, efficiency, and professionalism.
