Diagnostics in the Golden Hour – Module 2 – Developing Diagnostic Process Routines

Developing structured, technician-devised diagnostic routines

Building on the skills mastered in Module 1, Module 2 of the Golden Hour Diagnostics program focuses on advancing your diagnostic techniques by developing structured, technician-devised diagnostic process routines. This course introduces a scientific approach to fault-finding ensuring your methods are logical, repeatable, and effective across a wide range of vehicle problems.
This module emphasizes not only the practical application of diagnostic tools but also the importance of systematic thinking, thorough documentation, and sound decision-making.

Through a combination of classroom coaching and intensive hands-on practice, you will refine your ability to analyse faults, plan and execute test routines, and evaluate results accurately.
