Course content
The Diagnostic Bootcamp is a brilliant, week long, fully immersive training course.
During the 5 days you will cover the most important aspects of vehicle diagnostics, in a friendly and down-to-earth learning environment. Our training workshop is equipped with up-to-date equipment and we’ll have a wide range of modern vehicles to practice on and to learn from.
If you are struggling with your diagnostics, or if you feel that you should find and fix faults faster and without trying replacement parts, or you want to change from being a parts changer to a diagnostic technician, this is the right course for you.
Everything we cover on this course has a direct link to the practical aspect of diagnosing and fixing vehicles.
