Program Details

Detailed information about this program

As most in-depth engine diagnostics and repairs are manufacturer specific, this course focuses more on the ABYC Standards that apply to both gasoline (petrol) and diesel-fuel engines, and the systems they are connected to, such as fuel, cooling, electric, drives, and exhaust. Basic engine operation and troubleshooting are addressed as well, along with repair and maintenance of these various systems and the skills necessary for quality customer service and operational excellence
