BMW ISTA AOS Diagnostic System Training for BMW Mini

BMW ISTA AOS Diagnostic System Training for BMW Mini

AOS, ISTA & ICOM training has been designed and written with the independent operator or specialist garage in mind. The advancement of the modern motor vehicle has led us to a situation where we must be able to diagnose, repair, reflash, code, and program a multitude of components to complete the repair and get to the invoice stage. This course covers the BMW Group diagnostic and information solutions.

Going ‘dealer level’ with your diagnostics may seem daunting, but in reality, with some training and support, it is fairly straightforward. Once you’ve made the change, you will look back and wonder how you ever managed to do things the ‘old’ way. With the diminishing level of dealer-level coverage within diagnostic equipment, using with genuine dealer equipment in your workshop is the only way for go-ahead businesses and technicians to maintain and grow their business.

As vehicle technology continues to advance at break-neck speed, dealer diagnostic solutions are the only realistic option to offer your customers the service you want.  With our pre-course set-up support, face-to-face training, and post-course help and guidance, we’ll help you make the transition from make-do diagnostics to can-do diagnostics.

This training course will enable you to get up and running with BMW group vehicles, to use it effectively in your business processes, and to enable you to be in control of the diagnostic and repair process from the initial fault right through to the fix (and the invoice).
