Bristol Automotive Academy First In UK To Install Revolutionary New Training System

June 9, 2009 - PRLog -- The country’s leading automotive academy has become the first in the UK to take delivery of one of the most advanced diagnostic training systems available to the motor vehicle sector.

Called the AT5000, it means apprentices at S&B Automotive Academy in Bristol will be the first in the country to learn engine and vehicle diagnostics using the revolutionary new training system.

Developed by Degem Systems Ltd, the AT5000 training system is now being showcased at the academy.

It will enable the academy’s students to hone their skills by identifying, testing and fixing different scenarios that they will come up against when working for real on people’s cars.

According to Jon Winter, chief executive at S&B Automotive Academy, the new Degem training system will equip the academy’s apprentices with key skills that are deemed vital to the motor industry giving them and their employers a head start in terms of the service they provide.

Jon said: “As vehicles become more and more advanced in terms of technology, means that technicians and mechanics have to be well ahead of the game in terms of being able to fix ‘First Time’ the problems they come up against.

“To be the first academy in the country to take delivery of this new system is a real coup and we can’t wait to put it through its paces.”

Regarded as a pioneer in the production and supply of training and education systems, Degem combines state-of-the-art technologies and unique computer-based approach to educational training.

The academy currently trains over 600 students a year with courses ranging from pre-apprenticeships, through apprenticeships for those working in the motor industry, management training and other short courses.
