During the three-day course, participants will learn from a curriculum that includes:

* tactics for air system failure mode diagnosis and troubleshooting;
* air brake system and foundation brake components, including air compressors, valves, foundation drum brakes and air disc brakes, slack adjusters, brake chambers, shoes, and drums.

The program also covers the new federal regulations for reduced stopping distance, which took effect in August 2011.

Additional topics include Bendix safety solutions such as Bendix brand air disc brakes, antilock braking systems, tire pressure monitoring systems and stability technologies. The school is taught by veteran ASE-certified Bendix Service, Warranty, and Training (SWAT) team experts.
