Course Description:

This course will consist of six (6) weekly zoom meetings with our registered attendees. They will be held on Zoom.  There will be an online orientation and an online assessment provided to take before the first meeting.

This Engine Performance and Diagnosis program will provide students the opportunity to learn the theory and practical skills necessary to service automotive vehicles, using traditional and advanced skills and techniques. Taught by ASE Master Technician John Forro, this coaching program will follow many of the tasks outlined in the ASE A8 Task List, including introducing students to the theory, diagnosis, and repair of engine performance systems in vehicles. Students will gain insight into specific aspects of the automotive service industry through actual testing and practical service demonstrations. The instructor will also furnish the participants with detailed handouts and recommend other materials for additional participant self-study. Practical instruction and use of Scan Tools and Lab Scopes will be presented throughout this course, showing their traditional use and instruction on advanced techniques to take your diagnostic skills to the next level.

Split into Three separate courses, Coaching Segment 1 will focus on ignition system diagnostics and traditional methods of diagnosing and repairing vehicle systems. Segment 2 will focus Fuel system and Engine mechanical  testing. Segment 3 will cover computer controls.  This approach will build the student's experience from a basic understanding of diagnostics to a more advanced and creative automotive repair approach.

Each segment will consist of six (6) weekly zoom meetings with our registered attendees. An additional introductory online orientation and assessment are required for each student, which will occur before the first instructional segment. Each class will allow for lecture and demonstration of the instructor directly to the students and allow for a "back-and-forth" interaction between the student-instructor for the best balance of an educational environment. Attendance in segment one of this program is not required for enrollment in segment two, but is highly reccomended.
