Apprentice Training
Highlights
This course is will give trainees a more detailed look into the world of vehicle operating systems and push them a little further, particularly with regard to the electronic systems used on modern buses.This is aimed at apprentices who are already well into their learning journey and will benefit from some specialised and in-depth knowledge on the Alexander Dennis range of buses.
The course is designed to be hands-on, and aimed at developing their approach to electrical and electronic troubleshooting skills and simple use of a digital multimeter as most mechanical components are now controlled using CAN, especially ECUs and Multiplex systems. Our approach is to underpin the importance of solid foundations and effective working methods, both electrical and mechanical.
Each delegate will receive a free digital multimeter to encourage them to practice their new skills.
Assessments are used for each part of the course and results can be provided to the employer, 80% pass rate required on assessment.
