Webinar Series on the Motorcoach Industry

Are you new to the industry or just looking to enhance your knowledge of motorcoaches? We have a series customized just for you! Join the Operations, Maintenance and Drivers Committee for a deep dive into the motorcoach world (four-part series): 

  • October’s webinar, Motorcoach 101, will start with the basics. Industry experts from MCI will teach us the fundamentals of the motorcoach and its features. This webinar is geared towards those looking to enhance their knowledge and help sell the motorcoach product whether it be for a tour or charter.  
  • January’s webinar, Motorcoach Systems and Operations, will expand upon what you learned in October’s session. This webinar will dive into motorcoach systems and operations. 
  • February’s session will be an Education Bite at the MCI Booth at Marketplace. Bring your knowledge to life on the show floor at the MCI booth during our education bite.  
  • We will close out the series in the spring of 2025 with a View from the Driver’s Seat. This session will give insight into a day in the life of a driver. Covering DOT Requirements, driver’s cockpit areas, as well as pre- and post-trip inspections.  

After each session, you will be given an opportunity to test your understanding through MCI’s training exams customized for each webinar. Upon completion of all three webinars and exams you will receive a certificate.
