ADVANCED IGNITION SYSTEMS LEVEL I
I benefited most from the explanation of DIS and COPS systems. Current ramping is excellent. The quality of instruction was great. I would highly recommend this course.

Dave's interpretation and explanation of Ignition Diagnostics took everything that my boss has been trying to teach me in an old school fashion and put it into real world, up to date diagnostics using a lab scope. He made everything that I have been looking at make sense, changing from scope to handheld. The most valuable section would be current ramping coils- Brilliant!

I benefited most in fast diagnosing of ignition related problems especially on DIS and COP systems.
Keep more courses coming!
Jack Finch, Norlang Automotive, Langley
Showed me how to make diagnosing easier, a better approach to beginning the diagnosis. Also a better fundamental understanding of what I'm really looking at on the scope. Instruction was clear, concise and very helpful. I have already recommended this course to others.

What an excellent course!! Nothing I would change. Well worth the money. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone in the Automotive Trade.

Dave's ignition course started with the basics of ignition theory and this theory was explained in an easy to understand, yet detailed manner. More importantly was the focus of how to apply this theory to practical diagnostics that can be used every day to quickly pinpoint the problem area and determine the cause. Excellent instruction. I would recommend this course to anyone who is even thinking about looking at ignition patterns. Find out what you're "missing".

Excellent Course!! Information presented very well. It is a whole new learning process.

The most benefit was derived from ignition system testing using the vantage. Quality of instruction was great. I would recommend this course. One of the most difficult courses I've taken. Hard to grasp many new ways of looking at Ignition.

I can't believe what I have learned in this course. I have already used some of these techniques to sell and diagnose work. Awesome course! Instruction was top notch. I can't say enough about it. Only thing I would change maybe is one more day dedicated only to shop time with various cars etc to play with.

I myself benefited from the use of the tools (Lab Scope). How to hook up properly and set parameters. I am now able to understand wave patterns and make use of them. Quality of instruction was very good - relates well with the Techs. I would recommend this course to others in the trade.

The depth of information provided and the " cause and effect" theories were the most beneficial to me. The quality was high - content thorough. I would most definitely recommend this course.

The quality of instruction was excellent and I benefited much out of the course that I didn't know. I would highly recommend this course to anyone desiring a more in-depth understanding of secondary ignition systems. I learned how to save time in the field and accurately assess ignition problems through proper diagnostic procedures.

This course has given me a better understanding of OBD II system theory and application. Dave has shown me a lot of what I don't understand. I recommend this course to anyone in the field.
Parts of these courses should apply to service writers and service managers to better explain to customers.

This type of hands on training is a must. Reading through a book or hearing someone tell you what to do without seeing it done just doesn't work. This course was very well taught and can be applied to and replace the way we diagnose today's vehicles.

Gave a more realistic view of what is covered on OBD II vehicles. That not all are true OBD II. Gave us more knowledge of how to better use the scanner. Knowledgeable Instructor with up to date real life experience.

I like the way we were taught from real world vehicles. Looking at proper KV's is going to be a huge help for me. More and more with help and seeing others. I'm getting comfortable with my Vantage.

Amazingly I now understand a lot more about secondary and primary patterns. Nice to get deeper into the Vantage. Dave is very knowledgeable and has an interesting way of putting it all across. I found it difficult sometimes to sort out the " wrong Information " from the correct. It's difficult to admit that as a student I still don't know my way around the Vantage very well.
