On successfully completing the programme, trainees will have the knowledge and practical skills needed to understand how petrol engines and carburettors work, recognising the main components and functional circuits of the carburettor. They will be able to understand the fuel–air mixture requirements under different engine operating conditions, carry out basic checks and the dismantling, cleaning, reassembly and adjustment of the carburettor, and identify possible causes of malfunctions from the engine’s symptoms.

They will also be able to apply safe practices when handling petrol, flammable vapours and fuel system components, contributing to the correct and safe maintenance and operation of the equipment.

The teaching approach combines theoretical presentation, technical drawings and diagrams, examples of real components, case studies, diagnostic scenarios, fault–cause matching exercises and self-assessment questions. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding the operating sequence rather than memorising individual components. Where numerical adjustment values are used, they must come from the specific manufacturer’s technical data.

After successfully completing the programme, a certificate of successful attendance/training of 100 hours in the specialty «Carburettor Technician» is issued, in line with the applicable institutional framework and the training provider’s procedures.

Note: The seminar certificate is not in itself a licence to practise and does not guarantee that one will be issued. The requirements are examined by the competent Regional Directorate of Transport on the basis of each candidate’s qualifications, previous experience and other documents.

Before registering, applicants are advised to confirm in writing with the competent office whether this training can be used in their personal file.
