Course Overview

The modern mechanic is part engineer and part computer scientist. Our Certificate in Automotive Mechanics goes beyond "under the grease" repair. We provide a deep dive into internal combustion engines, transmission systems, and the increasingly important world of automotive electronics and computerized fault-finding.

Key Learning Areas

• Engine Overhaul & Repair: Mastering the disassembly, repair, and reassembly of both Petrol and Diesel engines.

• Transmission Systems: Understanding manual and automatic gearboxes, clutches, and drive shafts.

• Braking & Suspension Systems: Ensuring vehicle safety through the maintenance of ABS, shock absorbers, and steering geometry.

• Automotive Electrics & Electronics: Learning to navigate wiring diagrams, lighting systems, and battery management.

• Computerized Diagnostics: Training in the use of OBD-II scanners to identify "Check Engine" lights and sensor failures.

• Wheel Alignment & Balancing: Precision training in tire maintenance and suspension tuning.

• Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Basics: An introductory look at the future of Ugandan transport—servicing hybrid batteries and motors.
