Diesel Injection Pump Technician

The «Diesel Injection Pump Technician» seminar is mainly for people who work, or want to work, in the repair and maintenance of diesel vehicles.

Specifically, it is for:

• Car mechanics and technicians who want to specialise in diesel engine fuel systems.
• Experienced technicians in car workshops
• Graduates of vocational upper secondary schools (EPAL) / technical schools and IEK in mechanical engineering and automotive subjects.
• Professionals who want to gain knowledge of diesel pumps, injectors/nozzles, injection systems and modern diesel systems such as Common Rail.

In essence, the Diesel Injection Pump Technician maintains, repairs and adjusts diesel engine pumps and injectors.

The Programme Cost is €350.

The programme lasts 100 hours in total, corresponding to 5 ECVET CREDITS, and is organised into the following thematic modules:

Thematic module 1: Profession and legal framework

Thematic module 2: Health, safety and environmental management

Thematic module 3: Technology and operation of diesel engines

Thematic module 4: Low-pressure fuel supply system

Thematic module 5: Conventional diesel injection pumps

Thematic module 6: Injectors, nozzles and spray tips

Thematic module 7: Diesel engine electronic management

Thematic module 8: Modern Common Rail injection systems

Thematic module 9: Diagnosis, testing and fault repair

Thematic module 10: Maintenance, quality of work and assessment

On completing the training, trainees will have a complete knowledge of how diesel engines and fuel systems work; they will be able to test low-pressure circuits and conventional injection pumps, test injectors and nozzles, and understand electronic management, the operation of sensors and actuators and the use of diagnostic data. They will also be able to test modern Common Rail systems, apply methodical fault diagnosis and repair procedures and work safely, following the required maintenance, documentation and quality-control practices.

The course design follows the methodology of Open and Distance e-learning. Teaching through an asynchronous distance learning system is based mainly on self-paced study of the teaching material and on activities, so as to ensure a high degree of autonomy for the Trainee.

Each part includes:

• asynchronous online teaching on a distance learning platform, so that trainees choose their own schedule for studying the teaching material,
• Assessment activities.

After successfully completing the programme, participants receive a Training Certificate accompanied by a Diploma Supplement.

Note: The certificate of attendance is not in itself a professional licence and does not guarantee that one will be issued. Before registering, applicants should confirm with the competent Regional Directorate of Transport the requirements that apply to their qualifications, previous experience and personal file.
