Porsche Centre Bolton Technicians Achieve Gold Status
Two technicians at Porsche Centre Bolton have attained Porsche Gold Technician status, the highest level of technical certification offered by the manufacturer.
Paul Dibble and Aaron Poole earned the accolade after completing Porsche’s rigorous certification process, which requires candidates to progress through Bronze and Silver levels before qualifying for Gold.
To be eligible, technicians must also complete advanced courses over two days before undergoing the final assessment at Porsche GB’s headquarters in Reading.
Mike Thompson, Service Manager at Porsche Centre Bolton, said: “Earning Porsche Gold Technician status is no easy feat. It requires intense focus, exceptional technical skills, and a deep understanding of Porsche engineering. We’re incredibly proud of Aaron and Paul for this outstanding achievement.”
The Gold certification tests every aspect of a technician’s diagnostic and repair capabilities. During the exam, candidates must identify complex faults on Porsche vehicles using advanced diagnostic equipment and processes taught over years of training.
The assessments are designed to reflect the most challenging real-world issues faced by the manufacturer, emphasising precision and efficiency in problem-solving.
