Boost Your Workshop Diagnostic Road to Success

What this course covers

■ Essential Electrics - DRTS - 2 Day o This is the 1st course of the diagnostic road to success, on this course you will enhance your electrical knowledge, control methods and introduction into high voltage systems. ■ Multimeter &Oscilloscopes - DRTS – 1 Day o This is course number 2 of the programme and covers the fundamental skills of using a multimeter and an Oscilloscope to ensure diagnostic accuracy. The course will take you from the basic concept through testing circuits leading to sensors and actuators and multiplex networks and fault finding ■ Chassis Control Systems, Steering Geometry & 4 Wheel Alignment 2 day o This is course number 3 of the programme and is a vital course as more and more vehicles have sophisticated safety features that rely on the vehicle set up correctly. With 30% of all MOT fails come from around the wheel enhancing your skills in this wheel alignment will improve productivity and overall 1st time fix ■ ADAS Technology & Theory - DRTS - 1 Day o This is course number 4 in the programme and is designed to give you the skills and knowledge to identify vehicles that have an ADAS system and how this new technology will impact your workshop and the end user ■ Advanced Braking - DRTS - 1 Day o This is course number 5 and is often a subject that is neglected when it comes to training, yet these systems have developed dramatically over the years with the increase of ADAS systems, electronic parking brakes and TMPS. This is also an area of workshop that can cause a large number of returns due to poor fitment, this can have an impact on both customer satisfaction and first time fixes. ■ Diesel Engine Management Systems - 2 Day o This is course 6 of the diagnostic programme, diesel engines and their systems cause workshops the most issues with over 35% of calls that come into our technical helpline being diesel related. On this course you will cover and learn new skills in low and high- pressure systems, injectors, induction and fault finding leading nicely into emission control . This is a must have course of any technician

■ Diesel Systems Emission Control - DRTS- 2 Day o This is course number 7

and follows on from the diesel engine management course. Workshops are seeing more and

more diagnostic issues around Add Blue, NOx and blocked DPFs which is reducing productivity and 1st time fixes. This course is designed to give you the skills and knowledge required to work on these systems and repair the faults. ■ Petrol Engine Management Systems – DRTS - 2 Day o This is course number 8 and covers petrol and direct injection systems and moves through to ignition, induction and emission systems. With the decline in diesel and increase of petrol vehicles on the UK roads knowledge in these areas will serve any technician well for years to come ■ Communication Networks - Can Bus – 1 day o This is course number 9 on the programme. This course is vital to any diagnostic technician due to the increasing number of ECU’s in a modern vehicle. This course will give you a strong understanding on networking and topology looking at CAN resistance and voltage. ■ Smart Charging & Stop Start - DRTS - 1 Day o This is course number 10 on the programme. Battery testing and replacement is a massive growth area in any modern workshop with 40% of all breakdowns being battery related. There has been a large reduction in DIY battery replacement due to coding required on most start stop batteries, understanding how batteries work and having the ability to articulate this to the end user will help reduce battery failures for your customer in the future ■ Diagnostic Test Procedures Inc Oscilloscope -2 Day o This is the final course of the programme and brings together all the skills learned in the course leading up to this final course. Over these two days you will learn how to fault find using a diagnostic tool and truly be able to interpret information the tool is providing you and where to look next before recommending parts to be replaced.
