We will be discussing ways to:

NEW to the Mechanics workshop in 2015 is the CALIFORNIA’ S BEST Technician and Inspector competition. The competition is a fun learning experience for everyone. Your scores will not be revealed. The Technician with the highest score and the inspector with the highest score from a combined written and “hands-on” part of the competition will earn the opportunity to represent California at the NAPT annual competition.
The California’s Best event recognizes school bus technicians/mechanics for the important role they play in school transportation. The “Best of the Best Training and Competition” includes a 1/2 day of training, fol- lowed by a written knowledge exam plus a “hands on” competition to determine the “Best of the Best” in California.
Each year the National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) holds the America’s Best Training & Skills Competition for technicians and inspector in the school bus industry. In 2015 California will be repre- sented by it’s first Technician and Inspector winners at the NAPT National Competition in Richmond, Virginia in November 2015.
