The VIPAR Heavy Duty Family of Companies has launched the Nucleus Knowledge Center, an all-new online training platform designed specifically for heavy-duty truck parts professionals. The new resource provides training courses, reporting, feedback, and certificates of completion in a user-friendly format for both learners and administrators.
“The launch of the Nucleus Knowledge Center represents a pivotal step in advancing workforce development across the heavy-duty aftermarket,” said Jeff Paul, VIPAR Heavy Duty vice president of Marketing.
Basic, intermediate, and advanced courses are available to learners through on-demand, online classes and videos and instructor-led, recorded webinars. Content supports all areas and roles in the heavy-duty parts business, including counter staff, outside sales, and technicians. For administrators, a dashboard makes it easy to assign training and then track course enrollment and completion. Quizzes and assessments are automatically initiated, and certificates of completion are awarded.
The platform is exclusively available to distributors within the VIPAR Heavy Duty and Power Heavy Duty networks.
“As the industry undergoes a generational transition, training is more mission-critical than ever,” Paul stated. “For distributors, the platform delivers accessible, consistent, and customizable training that strengthens product knowledge, enhances customer service, and drives long-term business performance. In turn, it helps suppliers maximize the return on their training investments and ensures that those selling and servicing their products are prepared to do so with knowledge and confidence.”
Al Vaisvila, training/end user program manager for VIPAR Heavy Duty led the development of the Nucleus Knowledge Center.
“This is just the beginning of a long-term initiative for continuous learning and innovation, and one that underscores our commitment to supporting both our distributors and suppliers,” added Chris Baer, VIPAR Heavy Duty president and CEO. “This is not a one-size-fits-all solution – it’s a platform built to evolve.”
