Upgrade your knowledge to state-of-the-art As a system specialist for engine and chassis with over 90 years of experience in the international distribution of vehicle replacement parts, we know what you need in your everyday work. Not only do you require premium passenger-car parts in OE quality, but also something just as valuable – know-how.
This is because one of the toughest challenges facing a garage on a daily basis is the increasing number of vehicle manufacturers and the ever-expanding number of models they produce. Many repair procedures are different from vehicle to vehicle – often they are different from model to model within a single manufacture group.
RUVILLE supports the technical training of your employees by providing knowledge from a single source. Our technical trainers have years of practical repair experience and offer valuable tips and instructions with training programs that really do help with your everyday work. They contribute to making sure you avoid the most common mistakes made during installation. In fact, everyone profits from our training programs – you upgrade your own specialist knowledge to state-of-the-art, and we learn how we can better adjust our products and services to you and your needs.
The following pages give an overview of our training programs and we look forward to welcoming you to one of our seminars soon.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
BORN OUT OF EXPERIENCE AND USED EVERY DAY Our training seminars are conducted by experienced master mechanics and technicians. Because they are structured individually, they are ideal for every target group – from train-ees and apprentices to master automotive mechanics.
MODULAR, SYSTEMATIC STRUCTURE
The modular, target group-oriented structure of our training seminars allow us to adapt seminar content individually to the needs of the participants.
SEMINAR CONTENT THAT TRANSLATES WELL TO EVERYDAY WORK
All of our technical training seminars consist of a theoretical part, and a practical, hands-on part. These use real-world examples that allow the training participants to use what they learn immediately in their daily work.
CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED TRAINING CONTENT All important information from our product development and from our experience using our products every day, flow continuously into each of our training seminars where they are taught in a practical, hands-on way.
REAL ADDED VALUE FOR YOU AND YOUR CUSTOMERS
You receive additional background information about special features of RUVILLE products and their use and handling. In this way, our training seminars contribute a lot towards optimizing damage diagnosis and repair – which in turn improves service quality to your customers.
