DENVER, Colo., Aug. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - The Gates Corporation is proud to announce a free online training program for Spanish-Speaking Aftermarket Professionals in the U.S. The program, "Acelera Tu Conocimiento" provides valuable education for this audience to help them to improve the quality of repairs.

"Acelera Tu Conocimiento" is a video training program that provides information on vital automotive maintenance procedures. The first video discusses maintenance on the accessory belt drive system. At the end of the video, participants take a short quiz to test their knowledge of the material covered. With a passing score of 70 percent or higher, participants earn a restaurant gift card and a printable certificate of completion.

Gates' online training program, including an English version called "Acceleration Sessions", was developed as an effort to educate automotive professionals about critical preventative maintenance measures.
