The purpose of this module is to provide the learner with the ability to create written documentation and perform data collection, data analysis, data presentation tasks using Microsoft Office Tools such as Word and Excel. Application of such tools is tailored towards costings associated with the automotive repair sector. Report writing and oral presentations are an integral aspect, with emphasis on the benefits of effective communications.

Utilise Microsoft office suite, namely Word, Excel and PowerPoint

2.
Appraise an investment opportunity for return on investment

3.
Evaluate fixed and variable costs associated with an automotive repair business

4.
Identify an investment opportunity and demonstrate a return on investment

5.
Construct a report justifying an investment proposal

6. Present and defend an investment proposal

The purpose of this module is to enhance the learners understanding of Electric Vehicle High Voltage and Low Voltage Systems.

Upon completion of this module the learner will be able to safely remove and install a high voltage component.

1.
Appraise safety considerations pertaining to the High Voltage EV System

2.
Summarise factors contributing to Electric Vehicle Sustainability

3.
Examine vehicle network architectures and explain the principle of operation of the high voltage system components

4.
Assess the concept of energy recuperation by Regenerative Braking

5.
Conduct assessments of Charging Current, Battery Degradation and Cell Imbalance

6.
Assess the significance of Thermal Management for battery performance and life

7. Remove and reinstall high voltage components according to safety guidance

The purpose of this syllabus is to enhance the learners understanding of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) operation. Diagnostics modules address important skills gaps around diagnosis of vehicle faults relating specifically to the EV and ICE systems and sensors. Modern vehicles have sophisticated interlinked communication networks allowing sometimes up to 100 separate control modules to communicate and share information. Modern vehicle electrical circuit power supplies and wiring can also be shared across sensors and control modules of different vehicle systems. It is therefore common for a fault to arise which would affect the operation of the ICE system, despite the fault falling within a system outside of the ICE control module. The objective of this module is therefore to equip the learner with the ability to confidently operate a diagnostic interface, conduct diagnostics outside of said system and subsequently diagnose simple faults in electronic control systems.

1.
Appraise control system sensors and actuators along with their incorporation and function in the control system operation and process

2.
Review diagnostic software types and capabilities, including the operation of an oscilloscope

3.
Appraise vehicle network architectures, navigate diagnostic menus including live data and conduct actuation tests

4.
Assess the significance and advantages of individual module coding

5.
Code a module or component using diagnostic software

6. Diagnose simulated faults on electronic control systems
