As a move to expand its technical education program, Snap-on is now offering horticulture certification.
The course covers four areas: safety, pruner and lopper design, applications and tool maintenance.
To date more than 100 technical schools from across the country offer specialized Snap-on certifications. The goal of the Snap-on Technical Education Program is to develop product certification courses, based on the company’s 90 plus years of knowledge, that serve as an enhancement to the curricula taught in today’s technical classrooms. The certification courses place emphasis on tool use, theory and application. They are not an educational add-on, but rather are integrated into the existing courses offered by partnering schools.
The certification training is a collaborative effort between Snap-on and the National Coalition of Certification Centers. Certifications are currently offered in the following areas:
- Horticulture;
- Automotive Scanner Diagnostics;
- Mechanical and Electrical Torque;
- Diesel Scanner Diagnostics;
- Wheel Service;
- Multimeter;
- Asset Management (Foreign Object Damage and Tool Control); and
- Building Performance Instruments.
