STIHL has launched its master technician course, the pinnacle of its dealer training programme, designed to provide expert-level servicing and diagnostics across the full STIHL product range.

Following extensive development and a successful pilot earlier this year, the course is now available exclusively to STIHL approved dealers which have completed the full training pathway, comprising foundation, intermediate and advanced servicing courses. 

The final stage of the programme includes an online entry exam and pre-requisite modules, followed by an intensive three-day face-to-face training experience at STIHL’s headquarters, Contra House.

This hands-on course offers participants an in-depth technical deep dive, featuring:

·      Eight specialist assessments

·      Extensive product usage training

·      A guided Contra House tour

·      A structured recertification process, including an annual online exam

With a strong emphasis on practical learning, the course provides a small group setting, ensuring each technician receives expert guidance. Courses are strictly limited to six participants per session, allowing for focused, hands-on experience with STIHL’s latest tools and servicing techniques.

Since launching the master technician learning pathway in 2023, nearly 100 face-to-face training courses have taken place across all four levels, reinforcing STIHL’s commitment to dealer training and technical excellence.
