What you'll need
A smart device with a current subscription to The Vehicle Network App (course material provided through this platform). Laptops are provided with appropriate software as and when required. Personal diagnostics equipment can be used on the in person course — contact us to discuss. Some vehicle examinations take place outside, so weather permitting an outdoor jacket may be required.
Good to know
Module 2 is now also available as an online only version for those who wish to study in their own time or are unable to travel to the UK on the advertised dates. This does not allow for practical participation and the online only option is provided on a subscription basis — it can be activated directly in The Vehicle Network App from within the VSF training pathway section (Stage 2).
