Press Release - IAME Training and Education

IAME wishes to advise that contracted funding arrangements have now been granted in New South Wales

The Institute of Automotive Mechanical Engineers (IAME) has been an automotive association for greater than 90 years, expressly for the automotive practitioner specialising in many divisions such as Government advocacy, audits, products, sales, training and education. We have taken pride in offering niche training for more than 20 years with contextualized training being our forte.


As an expansion of our RTO (90409) the IAME wishes to advise that contracted funding arrangements have now been granted in New South Wales. This opens a new chapter for IAME, its members and indeed anyone from the automotive industry.


From 1st July 2023 IAME now offers fully funded training via NSW Smart and Skilled and for upskilling or dual qualifications we offer Trade Pathways for Experienced Workers. Our heritage in Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is still at the forefront of our offerings.


For further information on Apprentice Training, Upskilling or Trade Pathways, please contact our RTO Division:

Executive Summary On AI and Vehicle Safety

by Antonella Abbate • 18 December 2025
AI is now core to the latest generation of ADAS: deep-learning perception stacks, on-board real-time inference and sensor fusion enable crash-avoidance features that demonstrably reduce collision rates (notably AEB/FCW), while vehicle dynamics control is evolving from rule-based ESC to predictive, AI-assisted torque-vectoring and integrated stability management. Modern systems combine camera/radar (and in some programs lidar, mapping and environmental sensing) to detect, predict and act within fractions of a second; this increases safety but also creates new service obligations — precise sensor calibration, validated software/firmware management, authenticated OTA updates and documented post-repair procedures.

LOCTITE Threadlockers: Upgraded for Performance and Sustainability

by Antonella Abbate • 17 December 2025
For workshops and maintenance operations that take a conservative, risk-averse approach to chemical use, changes to a product’s chemical formulation matter far more than marketing claims. LOCTITE’s latest generation of threadlockers represents a quiet but significant shift in this regard: a reformulation driven not just by performance outcomes, but by chemical risk reduction and sustainability considerations .
