Yanmar’s dedication to customer excellence shines through its flagship training center, the Yanmar//Academy, a comprehensive technical training program housed at Yanmar’s impressive EVO//Center in Acworth, Georgia, USA. This more than 50,000-square-foot facility opened in the Fall of 2017 and is a testament to Yanmar’s dedication to strengthening its dealer network through expert-led, hands-on training programs for mechanics and service technicians.
The EVO//Center features six state-of-the-art classrooms with specialized training bays dedicated to Yanmar’s core product areas: agriculture equipment, construction, energy systems, engines, marine engines, and utility vehicles. Yanmar//Academy includes eight distinct schools, with six focused on dealer training, one dedicated to employee development, and another for customer education. This comprehensive approach ensures dealers receive training in every aspect of their operations. The year-round programs deliver immersive learning experiences in repair, diagnostics, maintenance, customer service, and sustainability.
The EVO//Center also features outdoor demonstration grounds, where Yanmar//Academy students experience real-world conditions while operating equipment including excavators, skid-steers, and more. After running the equipment outdoors, students learn how to test, service, and maintain them to keep equipment in top functioning order.
Yanmar//Academy Expansion
Later this year, Yanmar//Academy will expand its curriculum beyond technical expertise to include business management courses. These new offerings cover essential areas such as sales, marketing, service, parts, and finance, providing dealers with a well-rounded skill set to drive profitability and growth beyond service and repair.
The Academy’s partnership philosophy extends beyond traditional training. By investing in all aspects of dealer success, Yanmar builds lasting relationships that benefit its dealer and technician networks. This collaborative approach ensures end customers receive support from knowledgeable, factory-trained professionals who understand Yanmar products’ technical and service aspects.
Customers who choose from a Yanmar dealer connect with professionals who have received comprehensive training at the EVO//Center through Yanmar//Academy in state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring expert service and support for their equipment investments. This commitment to education strengthens the entire Yanmar network and ultimately benefits the customers who purchase equipment with a Yanmar engine.
