What’s inside

Part 1: Getting Started – the mechanic’s job and career ladder, CBET assessment, workshop safety (axle stands, fire, carbon monoxide, brake dust), first aid and housekeeping with correct waste disposal, hand tools, the vernier and micrometer, test equipment, and the engine science behind every job.

Part 2: Vehicle Petrol Engine Maintenance (Unit 1) – how the petrol engine works, routine service and the compression test, the cooling system, dismantling and measuring an engine, servicing parts, reassembly and timing, the lubrication system and the petrol fuel injection system (TBI, MPI and GDI).

Part 3: Vehicle Braking System Maintenance (Unit 2) – how hydraulic drum and disc brakes work, inspecting and servicing brakes, replacing pads and shoes, bleeding (with the correct order for Kenyan right-hand-drive cars), brake fault diagnosis, ABS codes and wheel speed sensor tests.

Part 4: Attachment, Work and Assessment – the 240-hour industrial attachment and the mentoring tool, job cards and quotations, starting a garage, and a mock practical assessment for each unit with a mark checklist weighted like the CDACC tool.

Reference: a 219-term glossary, a quick reference of typical values, conversions, formulas and abbreviations, answers to every practice question, and photocopiable logbook, engine measurement and brake inspection sheets.
