Basic Seminars
Practice-oriented Training in Vehicle Diagnostics and Standards
We support you in acquiring the necessary basic knowledge for the diagnosis of vehicles and mobile machines. Our standardization seminars will give you an insight into the concept, background and possible applications of standards in vehicle communication.
The ODX introductory course gives you basic knowledge about the structure of categories and diagnostic services. Our OTX introductory seminar provides you with the basics of diagnostic processes in the ECU life cycle. For participants with previous knowledge, we offer the OTX advanced seminar, which includes more complex OTX processes and extensions as well as the application in the GUI editor.
Take on the challenges of modern vehicle diagnostics and acquire the necessary skills with us.
In addition to our online training courses, we also offer face-to-face training at your own premises or at our premises in Haar near Munich. You will not only benefit from the theory, but will also be able to implement and consolidate what you have learned in practical exercises together with our experienced trainers.
