Programme summary

Want to start your apprenticeship training to become an auto electrician? Gain an insight into basic motor vehicle mechanical systems, and learn to find faults and diagnose automotive electronic problems.

Interested in auto-electronics and auto-electrical applications? The Certificate in Applied Technology (Autotronics) provides you with an in-depth understanding of electronic control systems and componentry in motor vehicle sub-systems. Explore motor vehicle mechanical systems and sub-systems, and electrical and electronic principles. Learn to find faults and diagnose automotive electronic problems, and develop a sound knowledge of engine management, fuel injection, electronics, electronic transmission and ABS controls.

Highlights
