What our clients say
"Outstanding technical training!"
"Outstanding technical training... instructors are top of their field & have all the important answers you simply can't find in manufacturer literature."
Jordan S.
Porter, Texas

"Awesome all the way right across the board"
„ZF [pro]Tech's training courses are great, right across the board! There are technicians at work, not salespeople, and that makes all the difference. The trainers not only have the technical know-how, but also a look behind the scenes of a workshop. These kinds of contacts with the industry are priceless!“
Gregor Knorr
Auto Service Knorr

"Fits together wonderfully"
„The combination within the training concept is ideal: The trainers convey the technical practical part very well and the evening program with opportunity for networking, it all fits together wonderfully.“
Karl Retfalvi
Ackermann OHG

"Always quick with a good answer"
„I have always been very happy so far. When you ask the trainers about technical problems, they always have a good answer and explanation ready. At ZF [pro]Tech, they think outside the box: For example, they don't just discuss the best-known diagnostic software programs on the market, but also other tools and their possible applications.“
