Course content:

Our comprehensive DT training and assessment package is aimed at techinicains with 3 or more years experience working at a diagnostic technician level but need further training in the areas of vehicle electrical fault finding, engine diagnostics, transmission diagnostics and ABS and SRS diagnostic fault finding.

This course is split into four 2 day blocks that can be spread over four weeks or take your time over four months.

Block A: Engine Mechanical and Transmission
The first of your four training and assessment blocks will teach you how to carry out in depth diagnostics on engine mechanical systems, from measuring crank journals, piston protrusion, wet and dry compression tests to cylinder leakage tests to identify faults.
You will also strip and fully rebuild a manual gearbox and be shown how to diagnose internal faults identifying the exact fault before you strip the box down.

At the end of the training your competance will be assessed towards your ATA DT qualification.

Block B: Vehicle Electrical systems and ABS fault diagnosis
On the second two day block you will learn how to carry out electrical fault finding techniques to the standard of an Auto electrician, using multi metres and amps clamps as well as being able to successfully analyse a wiring diagram to work out logically where the faults exist on the vehicle.
On day two you will also learn to apply these skills to ABS systems and diagnose faults from sensors, wiring faults, faulty ecu's and modulator units.

At the end of the training your competance will be assessed towards your ATA DT qualification.

Block C: Petrol Engine Diagnostics
The third of your blocks will concentrate on developing your skills with engine diagnostics from fuel injection faults, ignition faults as well as sensor and actuator led faults.
We will take you through the process of fault code and non fault code led faults looking at misfires, non starting, low on power, high emmissions amoungst a few of the areas we will look at both practically and theory.
You will learn to interegate engine management systems using live data, scan tools and the use of occiliscope patterns to identify faults.

At the end of the training your competance will be assessed towards your ATA DT qualification.

Block D: Four wheel alignment and steering geometry
The final of your four blocks will focus on using steering geometry equipment for diagnosing faults with the tracking, camber, caster, SAI and ackerman effect on a vehicle from taking measurements, adjusting all of the above as well as idetifying faults with the steering geometry on a vehicle both front and rear.

At the end of the training your competance will be assessed towards your ATA DT qualification.
