Bodyshops will be able to get access to motor trade specific welding training that will enable them to work with the full range of newer alloys, including high tensile steel, thanks to a new member benefit being offered by the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF).

The RMIF's Bodyshop Services Division (BSD) is entering into an arrangement with The Welding Institute (TWI) that will enable RMIF member bodyshops to get special rates on training, membership, and technical advice.

The package also includes a hotline to provide subscribers with technical support. RMIF members will also be able to become full members of TWI at special rates if they wish.
