In order to strengthen the capacities of its drivers, training was organized by the University Center for Clinical Research (UCRC), with a view to improving their skills. The topics studied were initiation into mechanics, vehicle maintenance, prevention and road safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According\nto Prof. Mahamadou DIAKITE, UCRC Deputy Scientific Director, this training focuses\non the different aspects that we have put in place at ICERMALI. With regard to\nstrengthening the capacities of each worker, at his level of work. The current\none targets the drivers, because we want them to be comfortable in their daily\nwork and better equipped to familiarize themselves with the problems of the\ncars they may encounter. Vehicle maintenance is very important, because it\ngives longevity to our means of transport. My appeal is to invite the drivers\nto follow the training carefully, and then implement it, because it is useless\nto receive training when it is not practiced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The training aimed to\nprovide beneficiaries with a sufficient technical level, allowing them to\nacquire the basic notions of auto mechanics such as the engine, the\ntransmission components of the brake suspension and auto electricity (lighting\nand signaling), master maintenance rules and techniques and especially the\nfrequency of maintenance. It was also about teaching beneficiaries how to\nrepair minor breakdowns, the ability to drive in certain stressful situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This The\nmain objective, said Mr. Ibrahim SIDIBE, Technical trainer in automotive\nengineering, is to allow drivers to learn the operation of current vehicles,\nmost of which are computerized, and the maintenance techniques that go with\nthem. As specific objectives, each driver must be able to recognize new signals\nthat appear on vehicle dashboards, what we call driving indicators. Also,\nmaster small testing devices which helps to anticipate breakdowns. 60% of\nvehicle breakdowns today are due to electrical and electronic problems. We are\naabout 25% theory and 75% practice, which we call a \u201cskill-based approach\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a week, the 13\ndrivers who participated in the training were given theoretical and practical\nlessons, they did not miss the opportunity to express their complete\nsatisfaction with the different modules studied. For Mr. Alou DOUMBIA, Driver\/participant, <\/strong>this\ntraining helps them as drivers, especially to know several aspects, namely the\npositioning of the wheels. It must be perpetuated, especially for new\ngenerations, because nowadays most cars have new (electronic) functions, which\nrequire training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Important gaps have\njust been filled by this workshop, with regard to the drivers. The courses\nprovide better road and mechanical safety, and consolidate more efficient use\nof assets and financial costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
