Describe the automotive service facility. Safety, the use of basic hand and power tools, and hoist training helps the prospective automobile technician work safely and efficiently.
Perform vehicle maintenance and repair. Focus will be on thread repair, oil change, tire rotations, and TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) relearn procedures.
Diagnose and repairing electrical and electronic systems. Emphasizing their knowledge of proper diagnostic routines, learners perform and evaluate testing and repairs on lighting and body electrical accessories.
Explain design, construction and service of vehicle braking systems. Emphasis is placed on disc applications, the machining of brake rotors, hydraulic systems and components along with system maintenance.
Explain design, construction and service of vehicle braking systems. Emphasis is placed on drum applications, power brake units, the machining of brake drum, the parking brake system.
The Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) - Full Session includes the orientation, two (2) timed course practices and a CPAT test. During the orientation session, we will explain the testing process and how the equipment works. You will have the chance to ask questions and try the testing equipment. The pass rate of those who attend the orientations is higher than for those who do not, so it is highly recommended that you attend at least one of these orientations. The two practice tests are the same and we attempt to run the practice test under actual testing conditions. If the test is run under actual testing conditions and you successfully complete the test this is considered a PASS and you will not need to attend any further testing.
The Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) - Test Out is for a ONE-TIME try to challenge the CPAT course. Acknowledgment and waiver of CPAT orientation and/or conditioning period and/or timed practice runs will need to submitted.
Introduction to drivetrain maintenance procedures. Learners will perform fluid exchange services for transmission, transfer case, and differential sytems.
Perform engine mechanical diagnosis. Students will be performing compression testing, cyl leakage testing, and engine vacuum tests. Students will also perform engine oil pressure tests and, test variable valve timing systems
Diagnose engine sensors that feed data to an on-board computers. You will learn how the computer processes and then uses data to make a host of real time decisions concerning ignition, fuel delivery and emission controls.
Diagnose, service and repair of vehicle emissions systems including PCV, EGR, EVAP, Catalytic Converters and OBD II computer systems will be taught. Learners will also be trained in the use of: oscilloscopes, gas benches, scan tools and various computer self-diagnostics tools.
Diagnose, service and repair of fuel systems including TBI, MPI and DI systems. Learners will also be trained in the use of: oscilloscopes, pressure tester, scan tools and various computer self-diagnostics tools.
Perform basic tune ups and beyond basic tune-ups into the world of computer controlled ignition systems. You will learn how the computer processes and then uses sensor data to make a host of real time decisions concerning ignition controls. The use of DVOMs, scan tools, oscilloscopes, and computer self-diagnostics will be covered.
Prepares learners for fundamental tire repair procedures. Emphasis on mounting and balancing tires, service and repair of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), basic tire leak detection methods and repairs, and basic suspension inspection procedures.
Perform vehicle preventative maintenance, and drivetrain maintenance procedures. Learners will focus on air filter, wiper blade, serpentine belt, headlamp, battery maintenance and repair.
