NAPA Academy Expands Technical Training Portfolio for Shops

The rollout of updated training resources through NAPA Academy helps independent auto repair bays upskill technicians on advanced diagnostic and vehicle technologies.

NAPA Auto Parts has expanded its NAPA Academy platform with a new suite of technical and operational training resources. Engineered specifically for shop owners, service advisors, and repair technicians across the automotive aftermarket, the updated curriculum addresses critical skill gaps associated with evolving vehicle architectures.

For automotive service centers and collision repair facilities across North America, the expanded coursework delivers instruction across emerging technology sectors, including electric and hybrid vehicle diagnostics, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) calibration, and shop workflow management. Delivered through a combination of self-paced digital modules, live webinars, and hands-on instructional guides, the platform minimizes shop downtime by enabling flexible, on-demand learning.

As independent repair facilities face unprecedented technical complexity and ongoing technician shortages, leveraging structured educational platforms enables shop management to boost diagnostic accuracy, improve first-time fix rates, and protect long-term service bay profitability.
