01
Start Here — Apprentice foundations
Foundations, Electrical & Testing, Drivability & Diagnostics, Brakes 1, and Steering & Suspension 1 give newer technicians a clean first lane built around inspection, basics, and repeatable test habits.
Curriculum
Apprentice / Early Technician curriculum path
Start here with inspection discipline, cleaner electrical habits, drivability basics, and honest undercar inspection reps. Best for newer technicians and developing B-techs who need a strong operating system first. This path is meant to be assigned intentionally, not treated like casual shelf browsing.
02
Diagnostic Core
Foundations 2, Electrical 2, HVAC 1, Engine Performance 1, Transmission / Driveline 1, Engine Mechanical 1, and ADAS / Calibration 1 build stronger complaint framing, proof discipline, and system separation.
03
Systems Specialist
Brakes 2, HVAC 2, Engine Performance 2, Advanced Electrical / Network, Advanced Drivability / Scope Strategy, Network Diagnostics 2, Scope Strategy 2, ADAS / Calibration 2, Hybrid / EV, and Diesel courses deepen real specialty capability instead of pretending advanced work is leadership by itself.
04
Lead Tech / Leadership
Shop Workflow / Leadership, Comeback Prevention, QC / Final Check, Handoff & Escalation 2, and Diagnostic Leadership 2 turn strong technicians into better case owners, escalators, coaches, and shop stabilizers.
