Training Training by the OE Experts. Prepare to Repair, with Delphi. As vehicle electronics continues to drive the development of today s complex parts and systems, it s no wonder training has become a necessity for technicians. Think about it. In 1990, 16% of a vehicle s value was electronics. Today that number is 40% and growing. Simple maintenance is now a thing of the past. Garages must be able to reach deep into the system. That means, as well as parts, sophisticated diagnostics and expert knowledge are also a must. Are you ready? With our technical training you will be! Designed to help you prepare for the very latest vehicle technologies, our extensive training programme covers the key aspects of a vehicle, from chassis to air conditioning, engine management to fuel systems, whether diesel or petrol. And every level, from basic diagnostics right through to the in-depth knowledge required to service the most advanced OE systems. Whatever it is, we ve got you covered. Based at our state-of-the-art training school in Warwick, the leader led courses feature a combination of theoretical and practical exercises, both in the classroom and on the vehicle. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be awarded a training certificate confirming your newly acquired skills. To book, simply e-mail amanda.j.smith@delphi.com or call 01926 472666.
