At the end of the training, the trainee will be able to describe how two-stroke and four-stroke engines and their main subsystems work, recognise the main components of the fuel supply, transmission, braking, suspension, steering and electrical systems, and interpret technical specifications, measurements, tolerances and diagnostic data.

They will also be able to apply basic principles of diagnosis and fault finding, plan safe maintenance and inspection work in theory according to the specified standards, recognise the hazards when carrying out work and choose suitable protective measures, and understand the basic functions of modern electronic aids and of electric two-wheelers.

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 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.
