Brent Berman Honored with the 2018 Mort Schwartz Excellence in Education Award
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Oct. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Brent Berman, director, training and consumer experience, Federal-Mogul Motorparts, was recently awarded the 2018 Mort Schwartz Excellence in Education Award for leading Federal-Mogul Motorparts' Garage Gurus(TM)' technical training program. He received the award at the Auto Care Association's Fall Leadership Days in Austin, Texas, during its Leadership Luncheon event.
Berman has held a variety of roles in technical training and marketing at Federal-Mogul Motorparts during his 21 years with the company. Today, Berman leads the Garage Gurus training initiative in addition to the catalog and research team.
"Early in my career, I was fortunate to be able to take advantage of ACDelco's 'DelcoTech' program in Canada, and since then, have developed an understanding of the positive effect that access to training has on the whole industry," said Berman. "As Federal-Mogul Motorparts is committed to training techs through its Garage Gurus program, I am, along with my colleagues, determined to continue to encourage students to obtain the technical education they need to build successful careers in the automotive repair industry.
"I am honored to receive this award and thank everyone who made this possible."

In addition to offering technical training and other assistance online, onsite, and on-demand, the network is designed to underscore the importance of using premium branded replacement parts engineered and manufactured to provide the quality, safety and performance consumers demand.
