Project Title: Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Training for Assessors and Learners in Automotive Engineering

Our school is proud to announce the successful completion of its Erasmus+ project “Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Training for Assessors and Learners in Automotive Engineering.”

The project aimed to provide both learners and assessors in automotive engineering with up-to-date knowledge and practical experience in Hybrid and Electric Vehicle (HEV) technologies.

Under the project:

• 19 students participated in a two-week mobility in Córdoba, Spain, gaining hands-on experience with leading automotive companies such as Nissan and Renault.
• 6 assessors took part in a one-week mobility in Leipzig, Germany, where they received specialized training and job shadowing in advanced HEV systems.

Through these mobility activities, participants developed new technical and digital skills, improved their language competence, and deepened their understanding of sustainability and European collaboration.

The project was supported by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, in cooperation with European Training Partner SL in Spain and VITALIS GmbH in Germany.

We extend our warm thanks to all participants, staff, and partner organisations for their contribution and dedication to this successful project.

This initiative represents an important step in our school’s ongoing efforts to promote innovation, international cooperation, and excellence in vocational education and training.

Purpose of the Seminar: The seminar aims to train participants in the correct application of the diagnostic procedure in automotive electronic systems. It focuses on the use of specialized diagnostic devices, inferential diagnosis and evaluation of live data and fault codes. 

Seminar Content: The basic principles of diagnosis and operation of automotive electronic systems are covered. Graphical representations and exhaust gas analysis measurements are studied and analyzed. It combines theoretical and practical training in the laboratory. 

Practical Content: The practice is conducted in small groups in the laboratory. It includes the use of diagnostic devices and a combustion analyzer in vehicles. Emphasis is placed on the practical understaning and resolution of real faults. 

Addressed to: 

• Automotive Engineers
• Automotive Electricians 
• Automotive Diagnosticians
• Technicians and Professionals active in the automotive sector

Dates: 30 June - 29 July (18:30 - 21:15)

Technical Seminar: Licensing of Technicians for the Recovery of Fluorinated Gases from Vehicle Air Conditioning Systems, Based on European Regulation 307/2008. 

Purpose of the Seminar: The official licensing of vehicle technicans for the purchase, use and storage of fluorinated refrigerant gases for vehicles, ensuring full compliance with European Regulation 307/2008. 

Seminar Content: The seminar includes theoretical training on the operation of vehicle air conditioning systems and the proper use of fluorinated refrigerants. The necessary safety and environental protection rules are presented, as well as the procedures for managing and storing refrigerants, based on European Regulation 307/2008. 

Practical Content: The practical part focuses on refrigerant recovery, vacumming the circuit, filing with new refrigerant and leak testing. The training is conducted in a fully equipped environment, aiming to acquire essential technical skills. 

Seminar Dates: 11-26 June (18:30 - 21:15)
