Management and Repair Practices

At the level of Internal Combustion Engines and Vehicle Systems and Components.

In theoretical classes a theoretical exposition of each subject is made and procedures and equipment used in technical vehicle inspections are studied.
In practical-laboratory classes, practical cases in the field of diagnosis, maintenance and repair of the engine and vehicle are solved in groups.
