No longer does a repair shop owner or fleet service manager have to lose valuable shop time sending a technician away for vital electrical-electronics training. With this hands-on training program a shop owner can train techs in the shop, while they're on the job and begin to see improved production in their electrical repair work as their techs progress through this training program.

No longer will a shop owner spend money sending a technician away for training only to have him come back and it seem like he didn't learn anything he can use on the job - or even worse - soon leave for a job with another company.

If a tech does leave your company you will still have this training program you purchased available to train his replacement. In this way a shop owner protects his investment in training money spent as much as is possible.

Use this training program over and over again to keep your technician's troubleshooting skills sharp! These training programs will always be available in your shop to provide essential and relevant electrical and electronics troubleshooting training techs need to know. This training program won't be outdated by advancing technology.

This training can be made available to your techs without you, the shop owner, having to be the teacher, although you can add your training and experience to enhance the overall training program if you wish. You simply oversee the training which is self-paced and shows techs how to apply live circuit hands-on troubleshooting techniques. You could even have your lead tech oversee the training program so you can focus on running the shop. He can keep you informed on everyone's progress.

This training program works well in the shop because the electrical-electronics troubleshooting training program is self-paced. The training program is divided into short time consuming nuggets so techs can spend a few minutes during each work day while on a short break or lunch period to do a short training exercise from his own workbook.

Simply set up the troubleshooting trainers at a location in the shop away from the hustle and bustle where a tech can sit down and work on the troubleshooting trainers for a few minutes at a time and write information in his student work book. In a week a tech can accomplish a lot training during short breaks each day.

This training program has a lot of hands-on electrical practice to keep techs interested as they see the results developing in their electrical troubleshooting skills. They can begin using this training almost immediately on the job as they progress. You don't have to wait for weeks of training time to see results.

Results start to show up after the first few hours a tech is immersed in this hands-on electrical - electronics troubleshooting training program.

Included in each module is a Top Secret Instructor Guide with all the teacher's information for using the program and answers to the exercises presented in the each technician's workbook. A tech can hand you his workbook and you can check out how he's doing using your Instructor Guide without having to study the training program yourself.

Once you have purchased this electrical-electronics troubleshooting training program, you can immediately begin to train your technicians and newly-hired technicians as they come on board. At the same time you can use this training program to keep your experienced technicians sharp on electrical-electronics troubleshooting with ongoing review using our unique hands-on style of training that technicians get the most out of and seem to actually enjoy doing. All your techs can share the same Troubleshooting Trainer but each tech should have his own Student Workbook for maximum benefit.

Technicians welcome this training once they get started and sample it because it has a lot of hands-on they will find interesting to study They will see quickly how they can use this troubleshooting training in the shop on the very next electrical job they work on. From that point it only gets better.

Techs will learn how to troubleshoot auto/truck electrical/electronic circuits with this unique hands-on troubleshooting training program using live circuits! Every thing is included in the box. The work book with each Troubleshooting Trainer Kit (or module) is written in an easy to understand style techs can follow on their own without an instructor present. This is called the home-study style of learning and it works. Student workbooks have step-by-step instructions broken down into small learning exercises so techs can learn on their own in short time blocks as they develop their electrical circuit measurement skills with a DMM and live circuit troubleshooting skills that follow.

TECHS CAN SET THEIR OWN PACE FOR LEARNING. Step-by-step instruction is combined with a little reading interwoven with some hands-on exercises to keep them interested and learning. No time is wasted building electrical circuits. Simply snap the Troubleshooting Trainer circuit boards together, hook up the power supply, open up a student workbook and techs are ready to start learning the troubleshooting techniques using live circuit troubleshooting examples. Each circuit principle and troubleshooting technique is illustrated with large schematic diagrams and illustrations so techs begin to understand how to read schematic diagrams while learning how to troubleshoot live electrical circuits using their own DMM on the Troubleshooting Trainers.

Techs first master the necessary troubleshooting techniques and understand each circuit as they follow along in their own workbook. Then they begin troubleshooting live circuit problems one at a time that you, the shop owner or lead tech has inserted into the Troubleshooting Trainers (circuit boards). All you have to do is follow simple instructions contained in the Top Secret Instructor Guide which has all the information to set up an electrical troubleshooting problem and answers to troubleshooting problems you need to evaluate their progress. In this way, you remain in charge of the training program and the time spent by each tech as you monitor their progress.

Electrical problems inserted in the Troubleshooting Trainer circuit boards are just as they appear in an actual vehicle circuit. DMM readings obtained during troubleshooting match what you would find in a vehicle circuit. Repetitious troubleshooting exercises ensure self confidence and solid, fool proof troubleshooting skill is developed.

Here's a few tips on how to make this training program work for you!
Simply set up the Troubleshooting Trainers (circuit boards) in a convenient place in the shop for a tech to sit down for a few minutes early in the morning, during lunch, a few minutes after the day is over or at personal break intervals during the day so he can do the exercise of the day or troubleshoot the problem of the day that you have set up for them following the Instructor Guide information. In this way your techs can all share the same set of Troubleshooting Trainer circuit boards and that keeps your training costs down.

We suggest that once a week you call for a short shop meeting at the end of the day to have the techs discuss the exercises or troubleshooting problems covered that week. Techs can answer each others questions or share their success in learning to troubleshoot live electrical circuits. They can also share how they have used what they have learned so far to help them fix a vehicle electrical problem in the shop.

1. Begin with The Starter Kit, H-111.

The Starter Kit is the required first troubleshooting trainer and covers the beginning but essential electrical circuit troubleshooting techniques technicians should use to troubleshoot electrical circuits. The Starter Kit gives technicians simple step-by-step troubleshooting procedures to follow which they practice with hands-on application using the live troubleshooting trainer circuit boards from the Starter Kit shown below. They can study each troubleshooting principle in their workbook with short exercises that individually do not consume a lot of time yet quickly build up their understanding of electrical circuits and how to test, measure and troubleshoot a live circuit using their DMM as they proceed through the training program.

Each Starter Kit contains the following: 1 each Power Board, H-PCB01 1 each Lamp Board, H-PCB02 1 each Student Workbook, H-SM01/02 (about 60 pages) 1 each Top Secret Instructor Guide, H-IG01/02.

The Power Supply included in the H-111 (called the H-PS01) is designed for use with 115-120VAC, U.S.A. line power requirements.
(We have power supplies for UK and European countries at a slight additional charge if you are a shop in a country with different line power connections than used in the USA.)

OK, I want to get my techs started. Send me a Starter Kit H-111 for $209.00 plus s/h.

Buy additional Starter Kit student workbooks (H-SM01/02 at $24.95 each)
Each tech should have his own personal workbook copy to guide him through the self-paced training program exercises. This training program isn't as effective if techs share a workbook. There is essential study material they need to review as they proceed through the training program, a lot of blanks they need to fill in as they study along and places to write down all their troubleshooting steps and DMM readings they get while troubleshooting live electrical problems.

Shop owners can review their tech's workbooks to see how each tech is doing. Don't worry, your Top Secret Instructor Guide has all the answers. (Don't let techs sneak a peek at the answers. That's why we call the instructor guides "Top Secret".)

After your techs have completed the Starter Kit, H-111 with its 32 electrical problems, you are ready to start them on the next add-on Troubleshooting Trainer, H-113 with 42 electrical problems, Troubleshooting DC Motor Circuits; then H-115, Troubleshooting Relay Circuits with 75 electrical problems, and finally H-116, Wire Harness Troubleshooting with over 100 electrical problems.
