Kind regards
Having taught lets just say quite a few master technicians from 6 different motor manufacturers for over nine years now in not only diagnostics but many other areas how do they think they are going to train somebody in a few days that takes years of experience. The average time taken to train most technicians of this criteria would mormally take three years followed by a six to eight week block for some manufacturers bearing in mind they only work on one brand not unlike the people of this forum who have to cope with anything that drives or is towed in to the workshop of any manufacturer.Ok we might get the odd switched on technician parting with his money and to this effect i would appologise to the few that are in this situationfor the franchise. But really the reason why we havent had a super enquiry from the goverment into the motortrade is because everybodys experience is often based on or tarred with the same brush as the fred in the shed (didnt want to say this but !) Therfore ATA acreditiation came into efect with the Institute of the Motor Industry so people could identify with some body that can prove their ability and work to a standard.What a shame someone is jumping on the bandwagon of diagnostics thinking its a large profit making business what about all the hours spent scratching around only to find something simple i know ive been thier and can you always charge for all the time taken NO!
What with ever increasing complexity on vehicles ie CAN LIN MOST Common rail are these going to be trained in a few hours me thinks not so to all the garages keep up the good work in the posts im sure to keep subscribing as i have learnt so much from this forum and the likes of the people who put post on here.
Feel sorry for the tech who might get sucked into this debt vortex.
