If 45 days isn't enough

Life happens. A two-week extension is $29, and your progress, your scores and anything you've already passed stay where you left them. Nobody has to start over.

Prices rise as the material grows

The introductory price holds until midnight on 31 December, and after that the course is $149. We keep adding figures, specialty guides and new courses, and the price goes up with them. If you come in early, you pay the least this material will ever cost.

Discount codes

Codes are honored at checkout for community programs, workforce partners, returning students and campaigns. If a program sponsors you, bring their code. Price shouldn't stop anyone capable from training.

Tools are yours to choose

We don't sell kits. The course tells you what each tool has to do, like what a meter needs to measure and what a crimp has to hold, and you buy whatever brand you trust from whichever shop you like. A technician who picked their own tools understands them. Nothing in the course needs anything unusual.

What you get

The full curriculum

Seven modules from first principles to capstone diagnostics. It's the same material used to certify working technicians.

A record that counts

Your scores and completion are stored under your account, and you get a one-page sheet to hand an employer with the curriculum you covered and a code they scan for your results.

Access that stays after you pass

Pass, and the course material stays open to you along with the repair wiki, which keeps growing with specialty fixes and model-specific faults. Bench cards and reference tables are yours to download, and the error-code library and first-checks guide are free for everyone.

45 days to finish

The course is about 13 hours of reading plus 15-20 hours of bench work. A short window gets it done while it's fresh in your head. If you need longer there's an extension, and a certificate at the other side.

Laminated bench cards

Every bench card is a digital download the moment you enroll. When you pass, the laminated set unlocks in our store at graduate pricing: the same procedures on cards that survive solvent, grease and a dropped wrench. There's no deadline on that either. Come back in three years and order another set when the first one finally gives up.

Ask about the laminated set

It's not in the store yet. This opens an email so we can tell you when it is.

You can earn the fee back by drawing

This course needs illustrations, and some of the best will come from people who have just learned the material. Pass the certification, draw a group of figures we accept, and we refund what you paid. How the drawing trade works.

The battery fire safety poster

What to do when a lithium pack is swollen, hot, damaged or burning, in a form you can put on a wall where people will read it. Anyone can order one, no enrollment needed, and graduates get it at a discount. If it stops one person from carrying a smoking battery through a building, it's done its job.

Shops, fleets and programs

Group and annual rates are set per organization and are being finalized now. Tell us roughly how many technicians you train in a year and whether seats or the unlimited annual suits you better, and we'll come back with numbers and an invoice option. Community and workforce programs, ask about partner rates. Training people who wouldn't otherwise get the chance is why we built this program.

Questions

Do I need a shop to enroll?

No. Most people take this for themselves. You'll want access to vehicles and someone experienced for the bench hours, and we can point you to options.

How old do I have to be?

16 or older to start the free preview on your own, and to buy with a payment method in your own name. Otherwise a parent or guardian pays and approves the account. Learners 13 to 15 need a sponsored account from a parent or a youth group such as a school, scout troop or YMCA. The course isn't offered to children under 13.

How long do I have?

45 days to finish. If you need more time, a two-week extension is $29, and your progress carries over. Once you pass, the material and the repair wiki stay open to you.

What if I fail a test?

Retake it. The tests are there to show you what to review.

Is the certificate recognized?

It states what you passed and when. Shops hire on demonstrated skill, and this gives you the evidence and the vocabulary to show yours.
