Doha Porsche Centre technicians on a high

In an effort to enhance technical skills and stay up-to-date with the newest inventions, 32 members of the Porsche Service Centre in Doha have successfully completed the Bronze Fast Track Technician Certification Programme offered by Dr Ing hc F Porsche AG, Stuttgart, qualifying them as experts in Porsche technology. Awarded as Certified Bronze Porsche Technicians, the 32 after-sales employees have completed a range of training sessions on Porsche diagnostic units, vehicle electrics, fuel and ignition systems as well as complex chassis details. The long-term training project, which started in July 2011, finished with the official handover of personal certificates last week. Salman Jassem al -Darwish, chairman and CEO of Porsche Centre Doha, Al Boraq Automobile Co, said: “Porsche Service is a centre of excellence. It is not just the personal consultation that makes the difference, but the expertise of our technicians as well. We invest heavily in our team’s knowledge, ensuring that they are equipped with the latest set of skills. We continuously strive for customer service excellence.” The programme is divided into three phases of pre-assessment, qualification and certification. It comprises both theoretical and practical exercises.  Currently, the next group of technicians is being prepared for the first stage of the certification process. The 32 qualified technicians will progress to the second training phase, which will start later this year.
