Learners develop the principles underpinning the operation of vehicle electrical systems and subsystems. They learn to use electrical measuring equipment; develop skills in interpreting wiring diagrams; test electrical circuits to confirm correct operation, including engine systems, charging and starting systems, lighting and ancillary systems; vehicle management systems including engine and driveline, vehicle and body dynamics; diagnose and repair electrical circuits and harnesses; and using their on-course A/C qualification to apply for an A/C licence.
Learners develop safe working practices and environmental awareness when developing solutions to planning and managing automotive vehicle electrical systems.
This course is part of an apprenticeship, so you need to be employed in a training contract with a suitable organisation to enrol.
