A focused half-day training course designed for garage reception and front-of-house staff working with EVs and Tesla vehicles. This course covers Tesla basics, safe vehicle movement on-site, key and access systems, essential driving features, and special modes such as Sentry and Car Wash. Delegates will gain confidence in charging discussions, ADAS features including Autopilot, and managing customer expectations around battery health and range. Ideal for customer-facing staff supporting Tesla owners in a workshop environment.
This hands-on course refreshes core electrical principles and builds practical diagnostic skills using dedicated automotive test equipment such as multimeters, current clamps, and specialist electrical test tools. Ideal for technicians and apprentices, it prepares participants to confidently diagnose electrical faults and serves as the essential foundation for progressing onto our three one-day Automotive Oscilloscope Training courses.
Take your engine diagnostic skills to the next level with our one day Fuel Injection & Combustion Chemistry Analysis course. Designed for hands-on automotive technicians, this advanced training dives deep into the science behind fuel delivery and combustion, helping you diagnose drivability issues, fuel trim concerns, misfires, and emissions problems with accuracy.
What You’ll Learn: Fundamentals of combustion chemistry and how it affects performance and emissions. Detailed breakdown of fuel injection strategies (port, direct, GDI, sequential, etc.) How to interpret fuel trims, O2 sensor data, air-fuel ratios, and wideband sensor readings. Diagnosing rich/lean conditions, injector balance, and cylinder efficiency problems. Using scan tools, oscilloscopes, and gas analysers to verify combustion integrity. |
This foundational course is the first in our three-part Oscilloscope Programme, designed to equip automotive professionals with essential diagnostic skills. Covering core electrical concepts such as units and measurements, series and parallel circuits, Ohm’s and Power Law, and common electrical faults, the course builds a solid understanding of vehicle electronics. You’ll gain hands-on experience using a multimeter and be introduced to automotive oscilloscopes—including their types, setup, and operation. Key skills include capturing and interpreting waveforms, using triggers, rulers, and cursors, and applying advanced features like flight recording and zoom. Ideal for those new to oscilloscope diagnostics or seeking to strengthen their electrical troubleshooting knowledge.
Unlock the full potential of your diagnostic scan tool with our one day comprehensive, hands-on training course designed specifically for professional automotive technicians. This course goes beyond basic code reading—equipping you with the skills and strategies needed to interpret live data, perform advanced system tests, and diagnose complex drivability and electrical issues with confidence.
What You’ll Learn: How to navigate and utilise OEM and aftermarket scan tool features. Interpreting freeze frame and live data to identify root causes. Performing bidirectional controls, relearns, calibrations, and adaptations. Utilising Mode $06, graphing functions, and data PIDs effectively. Best practices for scan tool integration with lab scopes and other diagnostic equipment Real-world troubleshooting case studies and guided exercises. 
In today’s fast-paced diagnostic environment, technical knowledge alone isn’t enough. What separates great technicians from the rest is how they think, plan, and execute their diagnostic routines. Our one day Routes to Diagnosis course is designed to sharpen your strategic mindset, teaching you how to approach vehicle problems methodically, efficiently, and with greater accuracy.
What You’ll Learn: Proven diagnostic strategies: top-down, bottom-up, symptom-based, and fault-tree approaches. How to build a mental “diagnostic flow” based on vehicle behaviour, symptoms, and data. The psychology of diagnostic thinking: pattern recognition, bias awareness, and logical sequencing. Using diagnostic tools intentionally—not just reading data, but asking the right questions. Creating a repeatable diagnostic routine to reduce comebacks and improve efficiency. Case study breakdowns: how different strategies impact time, accuracy, and outcome. Communicating your diagnostic process clearly—to colleagues, customers, and peers. |
As the second course in our three-part Oscilloscope Programme, Waveform Analysis focuses on developing your diagnostic capabilities through in-depth waveform interpretation. Building on the essentials, you’ll revisit scope setup, explore auto setup and pre-sets, and learn structured diagnostic strategies. The course covers key differences between analogue and digital signals, including duty cycle and PWM, and teaches how to analyse waveforms from sensors, actuators, and ignition systems. You’ll also learn techniques for enhancing waveform clarity and how to create a personal waveform library to support faster, more accurate diagnostics in the workshop.
The final course in our three-part Oscilloscope Programme, Advanced Automotive Oscilloscopes is designed for experienced users ready to unlock the full diagnostic power of their scope. This course delves into advanced waveform analysis techniques, with a focus on using PicoScope for complex diagnostics. You'll learn to interpret pressure transducer waveforms, customise user settings, and optimise grid layouts and view properties. Additional topics include using maths channels, custom probes, and performing real-time measurements and calculations. You'll also explore the use of reference waveforms, alarms, masks, and serial data decoding—ideal for diagnosing advanced vehicle network and electronic system faults.
Modern vehicles rely heavily on high-speed communication networks, and the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus is at the heart of it all. Our specialised one day CAN Bus Diagnostics & Testing course is designed for automotive technicians who want to confidently diagnose network-related issues and master the skills needed to troubleshoot these complex electronic systems.
What You’ll Learn: Understanding CAN Bus architecture, message structure, and terminology. Identifying high-speed vs. low-speed networks and how they interact. Proper use of multimeters, scan tools, oscilloscopes and CAN Analysers for network diagnostics. Interpreting communication-related DTCs, U-codes, and diagnostic flowcharts. Techniques for detecting open circuits, shorts, interference, and module communication failures. Reading and analysing network topology using wiring diagrams and OEM resources. Real-world diagnostic strategies for intermittent and no-communication faults.
