2 Day Auto Electrical Basics

Our 2 day classroom based entry level Auto-Electrical course is designed to take the mystery out of electrical systems operation and fault finding. Using circuit boards to build, test and rectify faults the technician can build up a working knowledge of circuit and component operation, by testing and repairing circuits. The aim is to take the technician to a level where they can be comfortable in testing and diagnosing faults in electrical systems. This course leads on to a 2 Day Advanced course which includes Basic Can bus and Diagnostics.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR, Adblue)

Our 1 day classroom based course is designed to provide technicians with a working knowledge of SCR, DEF, Adblue systems, covering sensors, actuators, high and low pressure EGR. This leads on to a 2 day diagnostic course where the technician will test components and systems for operation, diagnose faults in the system and make recommendations for repair.

Basic Automotive Communications Systems

Knowing and understanding the communication systems which are fitted to modern vehicles is the basis of correctly diagnosing and rectifying faults. This one day classroom based course provides the basics of the communications systems fitted (Can, LIN, MOST, Flexray); this will build technician knowledge and confidence in the operation of the systems which will allow for improved fault finding diagnosis.

MOT QC and QMS
In recent years the DVSA has moved away from physical visits to carrying out remote checks online and 'phone audits; this puts a bigger responsibility on the AE or the SM to ensure that QC, Audits and other self checks are carried out regularly and correctly.

The penalties for not meeting DVSA requirements vary from disciplinary points, temporary cessation or full cessation for up to 5 years.

In order to manage the risk of not meeting DVSA requirements, DVSA have introduced the Authorised Examiner Consultant (AEC) role.

Brakemaster ATS is an Authorised Examiner Consultant (AEC) for a number of MOT Testing Stations and can provide three levels of service from a basic QC observation, a one off MOT Audit, to the set up and management of a full Quality Management System (QMS).
