Craig Van Batenburg started the Automotive Career Development Center (ACDC) in 1998. Originally ACDC was at 19 Wells Street in Worcester, Mass and State Emission classes were held there as well as many other technical and management courses. Craig taught there and hired many other local trainers to come in and it grew quickly. In 2004 Craig closed the ACDC training center building as Hybrid technology had found its place and he was off and running around the globe enlightening those that needed a hybrid education. Today Craig uses two local shops, Bravo Motors and Wayside Automotive, for classes near home.  95% of ACDC training is held out of state and the offices are located at 40 Boyd Street, upstairs in his old New England inner city home. The place is easy to spot, look for lots of hybrids in the driveway! 10 houses away is another old New England home that houses more office space and room for all the hybrids, parts and associated training materials.
