Autotronics NQF Level 1 – 4
This entry level program is designed to prepare our students to enter the field of Autotronics. Once our learners have completed these courses, it is advisable to move on to the full Autotronics programs.
AUTOTRONICS LEVEL 1: this course covers the basic electronic principles, ensuring that learner has a solid foundation that will allow them to work more effectively and efficiently in the workplace.
AUTOTRONICS LEVEL 2: This course covers the ignition systems. This is where the learner will begin to put their new found knowledge to test. This course covers modern ECU ignition systems, where they will test circuits and perform electrical component values which are measured in OHM’s Law, giving the learner the ability to diagnose and repair faults on most modern vehicles ignition systems.
AUTOTRONICS LEVEL 3: This course covers Electronic Fuel Injections- all modern vehicles today make use of Electronic Fuel Injection systems. In this level we cover all the functions, testing and repair procedures for all components that comprise of an Electronic Fuel Injection system. It is imperative that the learner understands how the relationship between each component in the Electronic FueI Injection system functions to ensure optimum performance of a vehicle.
AUTOTRONICS LEVEL 4: This course covers starting and charging systems- At this stage the learner has gained the necessary knowledge on the ignition systems and fuel injection areas. This level gives the learner an understanding on how the vehicle starting system works. It further enables them to understand how to sufficiently test and diagnose the vehicle starter circuit. The learners will be expected to do basic solenoid voltage drop tests, cable resistance tests and starter current draw tests. We also cover the Charging system, from testing and repair of the alternator components, to the complete battery charging circuit diagnosis. This level is designed to give the learner the knowledge and confidence needed to handle any starting and charging related fault found on modern automotive vehicles today.
AUTOTRONICS LEVEL 4 CONTINUATION PROGRAM: This course cover scopes, wiring diagrams, ABS systems, Airbags, Anti-Skid Control Systems and reading of DTC codes. The integration of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electronic and electrical systems is managed by a microelectronic control system. This is also known as a Computer Integrated Auto Management (CIAM) Systems.
