Mastering Electrical Systems and Scan Tools

This multi-day class is one day a week from 8:30 to 4:30. The day of the week is Thursdays, but will vary based on Craig’s schedule. It starts off with a review of basic 12-volt systems and each class will lead you eventually to the most complex systems in all vehicles with an emphasis on EVs. This new class brings years of experience with ACDC’s originality of taking the complex and make the electrical evolution we are going through simple enough for even a new technician to “get it”. Chris, our “Doctor of Moving Metal” has been with us about 2 years and spent 14 years at a Ford dealership. He brings to ACDC a bright mind and a love of technology. Craig works alongside of him when classes are not being held. With Chris helping prepare the lessons, and assisting Craig in the classroom/shop, you will work on many vehicles with problems, and master the complex as we work with you and your classmates.

We expect that the total number of class days to be around 12-16. This is new ACDC class. Class are held once we have 12 students enrolled.
