The BDT courses comprise of one, two and three day courses covering 14 automotive modules, plus one BDT IMI Accreditation Day that must be completed by the same participant during a three year period.
Topics covered include Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Systems; Steering & Geometry; Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS); Automotive Air Conditioning Systems and Diagnostics; Oscilloscope Testing & Diagnosis; Gasoline Direct Injection Systems, Essential Test Procedures.
Jack, 24, completed courses at the Bosch training centre in Denham.
He said: “It has been a rewarding challenge to complete the BDT courses that have covered so many topics. As the training progressed, it became clear the high level of knowledge and skills that are now required for working on modern vehicles to identify issues and carry out diagnostics correctly.
I am fortunate to work at a garage where they value the importance of training and upskilling staff. The Bosch trainers were engaging and supportive.
“I’m really proud to be the first in the UK to have completed the new-look BDT qualification. I’ve been with Broadstairs MOT Centre for five years and developed so much professionally with continued support from my managers. I’ve started the Master Tech courses now and can’t wait to complete them. I feel fortunate that this garage is constantly investing in tooling and training to develop the business and its staff. I couldn’t work anywhere better. In an industry that is undervalued by many, it is great to work with a team who are also aiming to be the top of their field and provide the most professional mechanical and customer service we can.”
