As Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) become standard on nearly every new vehicle, proper calibration is no longer optional—it's a critical part of safe vehicle repair. From collision centers and glass shops to tire dealers and alignment specialists, today's technicians need the knowledge and confidence to perform accurate ADAS calibrations.
That's where Autel Academy comes in.
Autel Academy provides comprehensive, instructor-led training designed to help technicians understand ADAS technology, master calibration procedures, and confidently perform services that meet OEM requirements. Whether you're new to ADAS or looking to expand your shop's capabilities, Autel Academy offers one of the industry's most complete training programs.
Why ADAS Training Matters
Modern vehicles rely on cameras, radar sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and other electronic systems to power features such as:
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
- Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Traffic Sign Recognition
Even a simple repair—such as replacing a windshield, performing a wheel alignment, installing suspension components, or repairing collision damage—can require an ADAS calibration before the vehicle is safely returned to the customer.
Without proper training, technicians risk:
- Failed calibrations
- Incorrect sensor positioning
- Liability concerns
- Customer safety issues
- Costly rework
Professional training ensures technicians understand not only how to perform a calibration but why every step matters.
