More About Kukui Certified

The mission of the Kukui Certified program is to single out organizations and individuals that are best suited for Kukui customers to achieve the maximum success and return on investment with their vendors. Recipients are chosen based on actual results of success with Kukui customers and through a recommendation of those customers. Final certification is based on several years of data collected by Kukui member shops. 


“The ACT Group combines decades of hand on, in the field experience as shop owners and technicians with a history of facilitating the success of hundreds of shops across North America,” said Todd Westerlund, CEO of Kukui. “Their proven success combined with a mission so well aligned with Kukui’s makes them a perfect candidate for Kukui Certified. I am grateful to welcome The ACT Group as a Kukui Certified Coaching organization.”

According to Ray Kunz, Founder of The ACT Group, “Being certified means that someone has recognized you as above average, better than the “norm”! Being certified by a company with a product that leads this industry by leaps and bounds makes it a reality!”

Kukui will be announcing the addition of several more coaching and training organizations to Kukui Certified in the coming weeks and has begun to evaluate candidates for Kukui Certified Partners and Kukui Certified Shops.  For more information about Kukui Certified visit Kukui.com/kc
