Car Electronics and Diagnostics (Specialized)

Overview
Car Electronics and Diagnostics (Specialized), known in Arabic as Dawrat Elektronik Al-Sayarat Al-Mutakhassisa (دورة الكترونيك السيارات المتخصصة), trains students to become an electromechanic specialist (اخصائي الكتروميكانيك). It is one of the specialized courses in CIS College’s automotive track, meant for students who have completed the Automotive Foundations preparatory course or who already have a working base in the field. Over 100 hours, you move from core electronics principles into the electronic control systems found in modern cars, including injection and ignition systems, sensors and actuators, and finish with hands on training on professional diagnostic tools such as the scanner and the Picoscope.
This course belongs to CIS College’s specialized automotive track, which is made up of a preparatory course followed by specializations in mechanics, electricity, and electronics.
