Where did Diagnostic Assistance Come From?

Diagnostic Assistance has been an active product since the early 2000’s. It was the brain child of two super-keen diagnostic techs, Steve Bird and Simon Capon, who were later joined by the well know Diagnostic Expert James Dillon. The product was initially launched with the support of the Garage Equipment Association.

After a couple of years, Pico (yes, them of oscilloscope fame) asked that the Diagnostic Assistance authoring team custom develop some of component tests for the Pico software. This relationship exists still today, as the eagle eyed technicians may have spotted some of our content embedded under license to Pico. This prestigious technical partnership, cherished by both parties, is still going strong today.

In the mid 2010’s, James took the helm of Diagnostic Assistance building it into the allround capable software that we see today. Diagnostic Assistance currently sits as part of the Technical Topics family of products. It fits really well, levering huge benefits and capitalising on the expertise from the TTHQ training school and training team.
