Course Name Hydraulic Brake Service & Repair
Department Department of Automotive and Mechanical
Programme Description
This module covers Light Vehicle Hydraulic Brake Service & Repair. Contained within this course is instruction on how to identify component functions, characteristics, and principles of operations of the Light Vehicle Hydraulic Brake Service & Repair. It is also designed to cover the competencies required to service and repair light vehicle braking systems. The module includes fault finding, servicing, repair and testing vehicle hydraulic brake Service & Repair as well as managing used brake fluid in maintaining our environment. Each competency covered in this programme will link to the level 4 of the Automotive National Qualifications.
