Collision repair students gain industry training

In-lab industry training is among the benefits of being a Pennsylvania College of Technology student, and a collision repair class recently received innovative instruction from Celette, an esteemed company in the collision repair industry.

Second-year students enrolled in Structural Repair Procedures Laboratory and their instructor Loren R. Bruckhart gained training on Celette’s advanced Naja 3D computerized measuring system, recently purchased by the major. Greg Fritz, a technical manager and trainer with Celette, shared his expertise.

“Penn College Collision Repair is excited to add the Naja 3D computerized measuring system to our state-of-the art collision repair facility,” Bruckhart said. “Our collision repair program has a diverse inventory of equipment manufacturers and products used to prepare our students with real-world knowledge and hands-on experience. The Naja 3D computerized measuring system will be utilized by our collision repair students to measure and assess structural damage resulting from automotive collision damage. The students were engaged in the presentation and actively participated in measuring several vehicles during our training sessions.”

Penn College offers an associate of applied science degree in collision repair technology and certificates in collision repair technician and automotive restoration. For more information, contact the School of Engineering Technologies at 570-327-4761.
