Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC is offering the  2010 Brake Training School. The school—conducted by the firm’s ASE-certified Service, Warranty, and Training (SWAT) team—teaches maintenance professionals the description, operation, and service elements for all components found within foundation and air brake systems.

Additional topics include antilock braking systems (ABS) and stability technologies such as Bendix ESP Electronic Stability Program. The Bendix Brake Training School includes detailed classroom lectures and operational demonstrations.

The 2010 schedule kicks off February 16 in South Plainfield NJ. Bendix began offering training schools more than 50 years ago. To date, more than 250,000 people have successfully completed Bendix training.
