What do EEC’s training programmes cover?

EEC is confident that, by hosting training seminars for your garage customers, its technical trainers will increase knowledge and boost confidence. Here’s a report from a recent session and what the training covers.

Recently, EEC Technical Trainer, Stuart Still, conducted an intensive two-day training programme in support of a major distributor of EEC products. Hosted at the head office of one of the largest garage networks, the training aimed to dispel any belief that aftermarket emission products are substandard compared to OE products – a debate often challenged by aftermarket manufacturers, according to EEC.

Across two days, eight sessions were held with a total of 31 employees attending from the distributor’s 17 locations, some travelling considerable distances. EEC reported positive feedback, noting strong appreciation from both the customer and its distributor for the support provided.

Several candidates expressed interest in deeper technical exploration, prompting consideration of a follow-up workshop due to time constraints.

Each participant received a two-year valid training certificate, equipping them to address “common misconceptions” about aftermarket products and understand the critical roles of catalytic converters, DPFs, and exhaust systems.

What goes into the training programmes?

EEC’s training programme covers key aspects, including exhaust system functions, engine performance, fuel consumption, noise control, and detailed insights into catalytic converter operations, including coating components.

The programme also emphasises the diagnostic capabilities of a four-gas analyser, an essential yet underutilised tool in emissions testing and diagnostics, according to EEC.

Further content covers DPF functionality, fitting, and fault diagnosis, underscoring its role as a service item necessitating replacement based on vehicle maintenance and manufacturer specifications.

Type approval

EEC emphasised the significance of exhaust system compliance with European emission control guidelines (Euro I, II, III, IV, V, and VI), reaffirming its commitment to evolving training programmes in response to industry trends.

Whether you are a current EEC customer or exploring its services, EEC invites enquiries about tailored training programmes for staff and customers.
