Diagnostic Bootcamp

The fully immersive, intensive diagnostic training experience.

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.

We’ve been involved with diagnostics for over 30 years, and have seen most things. We’re able to share our wisdom and learnings to help you get better, further and faster.

Diagnostic Bootcamp will help you win at diagnostics and fault finding.

The Diagnostic Bootcamp will lift your knowledge and skills to a different level.

We know what goes wrong in your diagnostics. And the Diagnostic Bootcamp will help you avoid the pitfalls of wasting time and failing to get to a first time fix.
