Since 1985 our electrical - electronics training programs in automotive electrical system troubleshooting & repair as well as automotive electronics troubleshooting & repair have shown auto, truck and heavy equipment service technicians how to diagnose, troubleshoot and perform electrical repairs and electronic system repairs with skill and confidence.

Our training programs cover subjects such as using a DMM, current clamp, digital logic probe, scope meter and dual-trace lab scope with step-by-step training materials so technicians learn how to troubleshoot vehicle electrical/electronic circuits like a pro.
It's simply amazing how much electrical system troubleshooting a service technician can perform with just a DMM and a Current Clamp when he knows how.

Let our training programs show you how! Don't waste time and money changing parts to repair electrical problems. Learn how to troubleshoot vehicle electrical and electronic circuits and then replace only the part with the problem. That's a great way to eliminate "comebacks" because the original electrical problem is corrected the first time.
