TRAINING
PRO AUTO TRAINING
Pro Auto offer a number of high tech training courses, some of these will be held at our training
centre and some are only held at their own Midlands base. New courses include Multiplex & Can
Databus Systems, 4 Wheel Alignment, Vehicle Starting & Charging Systems & NTTA (MOT Tester
Training).
ATA APPROVED AIR-CONDITIONING COURSES
New European legislation regarding the handling of refrigerant gases came into force in July 2010.
Now, any technician working on vehicle air conditioning systems has to be in possession of certifi ed
accreditation to prove their competence to safely handle refrigerant gases. Traditionally before this
date garage mechanics/technicians had been able to work on vehicle air conditioning systems with
no formal training.
In association with Delphi, we regularly operate two levels of ATA accredited courses. By completing
one of these accreditations, the qualifi ed technician will legitimately be able to carry out air
conditioning work, enabling your business to avoid the risk of steep penalties or much worse.

Overview
Training is increasingly becoming a bigger part of the
garage technicians life, and rightly so. Working on the latest
technologically advanced vehicles should not be undertaken
lightly, and regular training is required to keep up with the
latest vehicle technology.
We run a wide range of training courses on a range of vehicle
systems, working in conjunction with OE parts suppliers
like Bosch, Delphi & Blueprint, diagnostic equipment
manufacturers Texa & Magneti Marelli and also training
professionals such as Pro Auto.
Some of the training courses we offer are approved by the
Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI Award) and successful
assessments result in a level 2 or level 3 ATA accreditation.
Many of the courses we run are held at our purpose built
training facility at Mytchett. If you have any particular training
requirements please get in touch with us.
