News Release: FutureTech Auto Announces Year 2020 Event Dates for the Automotive Software & Electronics Boot Camps

12/3/2019

0 Comments

 

After winning the 2019 Excellence in Training Award by ASE's Training Manager's Council, the Fundamentals and Intermediate Boot Camps Will Run in Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington (State). 

FutureTech Auto, the exclusive distributor of the Automotive Software & Electronics Boot Camps, has announced that the award-winning hands-on training courses will occur on the following dates:

Fundamentals Boot Camp:
  • Las Vegas, NV: March 9-13, 2020
  • Lansdale, PA: March 23-27, 2020
  • Portland, OR: July 20-24, 2020
  • Seattle, WA: August 10-14, 2020


Intermediate Boot Camp: (prerequisite: completion of Fundamentals)
  • Las Vegas, NV: March 16-20, 2020
  • Portland, OR: July 27-31, 2020
  • Seattle, WA: August 17-21, 2020
  • Lansdale, PA: September 14-18, 2020

Additional venues to be announced once finalized.

Boot Camps in Las Vegas and Seattle are eligible for special pricing for registrations received by December 31st, 2019, and all boot camps are eligible for discounted pricing when participants register for both the Fundamentals and Intermediate courses in a bundle. Payment plans are also available.

The boot camps have been attended by automotive professionals in every facet of the industry, including technicians, educators, engineers, service managers, business owners, and more. The boot camps are designed to bring automotive professionals closer to the world of software and electronics to improve diagnostic skills and confidence, and to open the gateway to building their own diagnostic tools for Vehicle Electrification, ADAS and other systems.

As vehicles speed toward significantly more technologically advanced systems, automotive professionals will need skills and knowledge with software and electronics to advance their understanding and prowess. In these boot camps, participants will look beyond parts and into the software and electronics that drive them.

The first boot camp was run in 2018 as a pilot course in software & electronics, after which the demand was so significant that curriculum changes (including a final project) and expanded levels of course offerings were planned and executed. In 2019, ASE’s Training Manager’s Council awarded the boot camps the Excellence in Training Award at their reception during AAPEX/SEMA. The Advanced Boot Camp is scheduled to begin running in year 2021 for those who have taken the Fundamentals and Intermediate boot camps.

For more information about the boot camps, visit the official information page on the FutureTech Auto Website. Course projects, reviews from past participants, and photo galleries from past events are also available.

​With Vehicle Electrification and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) now in the mainstream automotive market, the diagnostic lines have been blurred between microcontrollers (MC), electronics devices, and network systems.  Highly complex software (S/W), firmware (F/W), and hardware (H/W) interface systems in modern automotive architectures are compelling automotive industry service and diagnostic professionals to cultivate new knowledge and skills to more fully understand, analyze, and diagnose modern vehicle systems.  

FutureTech's Fundamentals, Intermediate, and Advanced Automotive Software & Electronics Boot Camps are designed to give technicians and educators a fully-immersive environment for learning how to work with advanced automotive systems. Whether it be a Tesla Model S, Chevrolet Volt, or Toyota Prius, all electrified vehicles have complex software, electronics, and network systems ​that will affect how they perform and thus, how a technician will diagnose and repair them.  In these boot camps, participants will look beyond parts (high voltage batteries, for example) and into the software and electronics that drive them.

Join FutureTech's Training Arm Access in Las Vegas During The Week of the SEMA Show for Special Advanced Vehicle Technology Training Events

VIEW THE events AND REGISTER NOW!
Picture
​Las Vegas, NV – Electric, Hybrid, and Fuel Cell Vehicle technology firm FutureTech Auto (FTA) will be conducting two 8-hour training events in Las Vegas, Nevada to coincide with SEMA and AAPEX. These training events are scheduled for October 31st and November 4th focusing on Service Advisors, Electric Drive Systems, High Voltage Battery Installation and, targeted diagnostic processes.
 
These training events serve as the official kick-off of the Access Brand powered by FutureTech supporting training and education. Access is committed to providing technology and training delivered in a way that is comprehensive and accessible to everyone currently or planning to service vehicles with Electric Drive technologies.
 
“Access powered by FutureTech has a unique approach”, Says Dr. Mark Quarto, Chief Technical Officer of FTA, “we provide technical training solutions for management, support teams, and technicians”. Dr. Quarto recognizes that the needs of Service Advisors have been overlooked specific to supporting Advanced Vehicle Technologies.  “If your business has made an investment in technician related training as well as tools and equipment, now it’s time for your service advisors and managers to receive training on how to interface and sell advanced technology vehicle services to customers that own these cars. NOW is the time to fill that void”.
 
The Aging process of an Electric Drive System begins with the Battery Pack so “when your customer brings the car in for a perceived high voltage battery problem, why don’t we find out if the battery needs to be serviced at all”, Dr. Quarto states, “and if it does, the Battery Testing and Installation training provides the technician with the skills to confidently do it economically for both the shop and the customer”.
 
These 8-hour events, which will be held at Frank’s European Service in Las Vegas, are only a preview of what Access has planned for 2017 and beyond. Access brand has management and technician training courses scheduled in key locations throughout the U.S. market. The initial 2017 training schedule will be posted and accepting registrations beginning August 30th, 2016.
 
“This is about accessibility and ease of application for all global businesses”, says founder Don Burton. “Access and all brands powered by FutureTech are focused on assisting automotive businesses in making their transition into servicing advanced technology vehicles that use electric drive systems”.  “FTA’s scalable solutions make it easy and possible for all businesses to enter this growing market” states Mr. Burton.
 
As an ongoing commitment to the market, FutureTech and Access have made available complimentary webinars each month, cost effective training classes, and varied technical events to support the needs of service and maintenance businesses.
 
Customers with high interest in participating in this event can review course outlines and register for these invitation only training events in Las Vegas, by visiting futuretechauto.com/vegas-training. Frank’s European Service is located at 1931 N. Rainbow Blvd, Las Vegas NV 89109.
 
 
FutureTech was founded in 2015, and has a combined 70 years’ experience in developing and delivering Advanced Vehicle Technology solutions. By understanding that the industry is composed of many equally important pieces, FutureTech can deliver multi-faceted solutions to automotive service shops, fleets, distributors, manufacturers, educators, and more. FutureTech meets the demands of today's automotive service professionals while developing tomorrow's advanced technology solutions. For more information, visit http://www.futuretechauto.com

FutureTech's Training and Knowledge-Base subsidiary, Access, will be providing training on HEV Systems to the Illinois Chapter of the Automotive Service Association. The event will take place on Sunday, September 18th, 2016 from 9:00AM - 12:00PM  at the ASA CAN Conference. What the participants will be learning: 
Different Hybrid Electric Vehicle Systems in the Field: Operation of Hybrid, Plug-In and Extended Range Electric Vehicle & the Impact on Diagnostics and Repair

The number of different Hybrid Electric Vehicle systems categories has been continually expanding over the past 6 model years.  With the 54.5mpg requirement in 2025 rapidly approaching, OEMs have quickly implemented electric drive based vehicles into each of their model platforms to meet these requirements.  These varied categories of electric drive vehicles are significantly impacting how educators instruct and how technicians diagnose these advanced technology systems.  This session will focus on the systems components, operating principles of the components in each category, how each category differs, and how diagnostics are impacted based on the differences.  This session is an absolute must for those that are currently repairing or those preparing to diagnose and repair the advanced technology vehicles.

​Prospective participants should contact show and training organizers for registration information.
