How to invest in your own employees at half the cost

As part of NHADA's reimbursement program, you can prepare for the New Hampshire Motor Vehicle State Inspection Test for half of the cost.

Are you looking to improve your skills? Do you have employees who want to take the next step in their career? You can easily and affordably make that jump with NHADA's Workforce Training Reimbursement Grant, which now offers State Inspection training as part of the financial-aid program.

NH State Inspection training is offered by both Manchester Community College and Lakes Region Community College.

The course is designed to prepare technicians for the New Hampshire Motor Vehicle State Inspection Test. An In depth analysis of the state laws will be thoroughly discussed and reviewed. Technicians will be taught how to properly perform safety inspections as outlined in the Saf-C 3200 Official Inspection Station Rules. Technicians will perform multiple sample hands on Inspections during this course. This course does not replace the mandatory Inspection Overview Course as cited in Saf-C 3205.03 but is designed to be used in addition to increase your knowledge and understanding during testing. Completing this course does not guarantee that you will pass the New Hampshire Motor Vehicle State Inspection Test.
