What is Accelerate

Accelerate is the skill development tool inside the NAPA XcceleratoR. Delivered in the XR Training Goggles, it builds the core 30% of skills that drive most of the billable work on your floor. 53 ASE-aligned lessons. Immersive, first-person video paired with hands-on simulation. Learn five. Do five. Move forward.

This isn't a course. It's a compression engine.

How It Works

STEP 1 — Put On the XR Training Goggles.

The technician steps into the XR Training Goggles and enters an immersive, first-person environment built around real shop scenarios. No classroom. No passive watching. Just doing.

STEP 2 — Learn Five.  Do Five.

Every lesson is built around the "teach five, test five" structure. Learn five ideas. Perform those five ideas. Progress only when the work is done right. Repetition that builds real competence — not just familiarity.

STEP 3 — Build the Skills that Bill.

53 ASE-aligned lessons across eight service areas. Each lesson includes embedded ASE prep guidance — so technicians build practical competence and certification readiness at the same time.

53 Lessons. Eight Service Areas. One Compression Engine.

Every lesson in Accelerate is built around the skills that actually show up in the bay — the core work that drives billable hours, reduces comebacks, and gets newer technicians contributing faster.

Every Month of Ramp Time Costs You $60,000

At dealer-class economics, every month a technician reaches productivity sooner is worth approximately $60,000 in recovered revenue. Accelerate cuts the new-tech ramp roughly in half — and ASE has verbally committed to compressing the OJT requirement from 2 years to 1 year for program completers. Each ASE credential adds an 8–15% billing-rate premium.

Does Accelerate replace my existing training program?

No. Accelerate compresses and accelerates skill development — it doesn't replace instructor-led training or NAPA's in-person programs. It works alongside them.

Is this aligned to ASE certifications?

Yes. All 53 lessons are ASE aligned, with embedded ASE prep guidance in every lesson. Technicians build practical competence and certification readiness at the same time.

Do my senior techs need to be involved?

That's the point — they don't. Accelerate takes the training burden off your senior staff so they can focus on billable work.
