Cancellation Policy
Classroom Training enrollments cancelled close to the class start date (late-notice cancellations), those unattended altogether (no-shows), or those who show up late (late arrivals) waste valuable resources that cannot be recovered.
In an effort to reinforce the value of Jaguar Land Rover Training & Development (JLR Training) classroom training seats, JLR Training will charge Body Shops for no-shows or for cancelling any enrollment within thirty (30) days of the class start date for the full price of the event. Late cancellations and no-shows due to extenuating circumstances, such as a personal emergency or weather travel delays, will be considered on a case by case basis. Proof of the circumstance is required (doctor’s note or flight cancellation notification).
Late arrivals are also subject to these terms. If a Technician is more than 30 minutes late to an EV event, they are too late to catch up with the rest of class. If you show up more than 30 minutes late, you will be sent home and will need to reschedule your training for another session. If you are late within the designated timeframe, standard event fees apply. If you are late beyond the designated timeframe, you will also be charged the full price of the event due to taking up a seat from someone else. Similar to no-shows and late cancellations, late arrivals due to extenuating circumstances, such as a personal emergency or weather travel delays, will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Proof of the circumstance is required (doctor’s note or flight cancellation notification).
In the event of a no-show due to extenuating circumstances, such as a personal emergency or flight cancellations, JLRNA must be contacted by noon (local time) on the first day of class in order for any consideration to be applied.

JLR Panel Technician – Level 4 |
Jaguar Land Rover welding standards are set high to ensure that collision-damaged JLR vehicles are restored the original level of structural integrity and occupant safety. Because of the higher expectations for MIG welding skill, JLR has been experiencing an increase in welding certification test failures.
To help technicians become better prepared for the challenging welding tests, there are now online training videos that will communicate the welding standards of Jaguar Land Rover for steel and aluminum welding. The online videos will also show welding techniques that can be used to make the welds that meet JLR standards and how to practice weld for the tests at the I-CAR Tech Center.
The course will include lecture and hands-on activities on JLR aluminum structural repair, rivet-bonding, and aluminum MIG welding. The MIG welding program and test will require making eight welds on coupons in various positions. The required welds include plug, fillet, and butt joint with backing welds on coupons, the practice assemblies, and on the JLR test assembly.
Technicians must be able to weld aluminum using the MIG pulse-transfer method. There will be MIG welding coaching and some time allowed for practice, but technicians will struggle with the pace of the course if they are not proficient in aluminum MIG welding.
The following JLR courses MUST BE COMPLETED before registering for the JLR Initial Aluminum Welding Assessment and Reassessment courses at I-CAR:
Many of the welding failures we encounter are related to eyesight deficiencies!
