    Volkwagen UK TPS training programme complete

    Volkswagen UK Limited have created a nationwide network of parts distribution outlets throughout the UK; this comprises 57 Trade Parts Specialist (TPS) centres, dedicated to supplying genuine Audi, SEAT, Skoda and Volkswagen parts to meet the needs of independent motor repairers and bodyshops.

    To support the network of distribution outlets Volkswagen UK Limited commissioned motiveAuto, an SAP ERP reseller, to provide a software solution to meet the demands of a busy logistics outlet.

    Having created the solution, the next task was to train the 500 staff that would be using the solution.
    We identified that there were five key roles on the TPS sites, and created five structured specific role based courses, along with supporting documentation.

    Our team of TAP certified trainers started the training delivery phase of the project, incorporating best practice and change management in the course, successfully delivered SAP training courses to all the TPS staff, along with some specific bespoke training courses for the Volkswagen UK head office staff.

    The Train and Certify team also delivered training to VW’s internal training team in order that they can continue to meet the ongoing training needs of the TPS network.

    Tahir Zubair, Training Director of Train and Certify, said “The ability to delivery structured objective and motivational training course contributed considerably to the success of the implementation.”
