CAM-AM Spyder mechanic certified

[jerpinoy]

What does it take to be Spyder certified mechanic (technician)?

 

[Wiredux]

From what I understand is you have to go to the BRP Can-Am School. It is something I have been thinking about doing.

 

[ARtraveler]

If you pursue the mechanic certification, please tell us more.

I'm going to be going in August, but I have a dealer backing me (Pitbull Powersports in Springfield, MO) and will be working for them after I move there in August. I know you have to get the account set up to take a 30 hour online course and then a week of hands on in Canada. as for the details of who to contact, you'll have to ask someone else.

The hands-on tech school should be in Wausau, WI, unless they have started to offer it at additional locations.

I think there are 3 locations for the tech school, Atlanta GA, Wausau WI, and Sherbrooke CA. Chances are he'll be going to the one in Wausau. :doorag:

Can anyone take the thirty hour online course, if they pay for it or do you have to have a dealer sponsor? It might be cost effective for some who do a lot of their own maintenance.

You have to be a dealer. I had the lifetime opportunity of going to the school in WI but I was not certified and it was an special arrangement so I could write a blog about what the Spyder techs go through. :doorag:

It really is too bad it's not available to someone willing to put the time and money into it. I'd love to know more about the ins and outs of the Spyder and what does what. I don't think I've met a more intimidating machine and it really shouldn't be. I thought my cars were bad! The Spyder looks like either of my cars shrunk with a ray gun.

How long was the actual "Hands On" part of the certification program?
Does BRP offer an "advance course" after completion of the basic course?

This was the advanced course and I think it was three days, maybe four, can't remember. Basic course is taken online.

Great write ups I am envious it sounds like a great opportunity even if you didn't certify.

Sounds like an opportunity for a dealer to make a little profit by offering their "Sponsorship" by adding a "sponsorship fee".....just sayin. . They do offer an "extended manufacture's warranty" so why not this?? Silly thing is, why doesn't BRP directly offer the online program to the buyers of their product?

Dealers probaably object to BRP doing this as it would cut into their business.
