AMi Welcomes Kukui as the First Learning Foundation Partner

The Automotive Management Institute (AMi), the industry’s leading provider of management education for automotive collision and mechanical service repair professionals, is proud to recognize Kukui as its first Learning Foundation partner. Kukui generously donated its services to build and maintain the new AMi website.  The AMi Learning Foundation Program enables AMi to provide learning tools, educational programs and professional recognition at the lowest cost possible to the industry. 
 
Thanks to Kukui’s support, AMi recently launched the Institute’s “next generation” with a new suite of front office and management certificates and professional designations for both the collision repair and mechanical service repair segments.   
 
 “Kukui quickly embraced our ‘next generation’ vision and volunteered to develop and provide on-going maintenance for our new website,” said Jeff Peevy, AMi president. “With their support, we have launched an impressive website, providing clarity to those in the industry seeking a competitive advantage. We thank them for their support and professional guidance in this huge industry project.”
 
“We were thrilled to have the opportunity to help AMi modernize its site and raise awareness for the Learning Foundation Program,” said Kukui President and CEO Todd Westerlund. “We feel confident that AMi’s new site will serve as a valuable resource for service and collision repair professionals for many years to come.” 
 
Through the Automotive Management Institute’s new AMi Learning Foundation Program, individuals and companies can provide tax-deductible monetary and “in-kind” donations, enabling repair businesses access to hundreds of online and live instructor-led training, coordinated into front office and management career paths and professional growth and advancement.
 
AMi was established in 1989 to answer the demand for continuing education and industry-accepted recognition programs tailored specifically for the business needs of the automotive service and repair industry. To date, AMi programs have attracted more than 250,000 enrollments throughout North America. AMi is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) educational foundation, to which tax-deductible contributions can be made.
