Excellent Automotive Training Experience at Techtra
“I’ve been working with normal petrol cars for quite some time, but EV and hybrid systems were still quite new to me. I joined this course because I wanted to understand high-voltage systems properly, especially from a safety and diagnostic point of view. The theory was useful, but the hands-on session was what helped me understand it better. I feel more confident approaching EV and hybrid vehicles now.”
Muhammad Aiman Hakim
Automotive Technician
BMW High Voltage Specialist Training
“Sebelum mengikuti latihan ini, kebanyakan pengetahuan saya lebih tertumpu kepada silibus dan pembelajaran di kolej. Saya memang mahu dapatkan lebih banyak pendedahan industri supaya pengajaran kepada pelajar lebih relevan. Sepanjang kursus, penerangan dan latihan praktikal yang diberikan sangat membantu. Ia memberi perspektif baru tentang apa yang berlaku di bengkel dan industri hari ini.”
Hafiz Zukepli
Tenaga Pengajar Kolej Vokasional
Kursus Peningkatan Kemahiran
“I was looking for a short course that was practical and relevant to actual automotive work, not just theory. What I enjoyed at Techtra was being able to ask questions, discuss real workshop situations and practise what was being taught. The trainers were approachable and willing to explain when we didn’t understand something. It was a good learning experience overall.”
Arjun Kumar
Driver
Car Maintenance and Vehicle Awareness
“Sebagai tenaga pengajar, cabarannya adalah memastikan ilmu yang kita sampaikan sentiasa selari dengan perkembangan teknologi automotif semasa. Kursus ini memberi pendedahan yang lebih praktikal dan membantu saya melihat bagaimana teknologi serta kaedah diagnosis digunakan dalam situasi sebenar. Banyak input yang boleh saya bawa balik dan kongsikan dengan pelajar.”
Nur Syafiqah Ahmad

Kursus Peningkatan Kemahiran
“I already had some automotive experience, but diagnostics was one area where I wanted to improve. Sometimes you have a fault code but still need to figure out what is actually causing the problem. The training helped me understand the diagnostic process better and taught me to look at the problem more logically before replacing parts.”
Priya Devi Muthusamy
Automotive Technician
Vehicle Engine Diagnostic
“I wanted to upgrade my knowledge because more hybrid and EV cars are coming into workshops now. Before attending, I had some basic understanding but wasn’t confident when it came to high-voltage components. The trainer explained the system step by step and related it to actual workshop situations. Overall, it was a useful course for technicians who want to prepare for EV technology.”
S. Karthik Raj
Workshop Owner
BMW High Voltage Specialist Training
“I joined because I wanted to improve my air-conditioning diagnostic skills instead of only knowing the basic servicing process. The trainer explained the system in a way that was easy to follow and gave us opportunities to practise. I now have a clearer idea of what to check when dealing with common AC problems.”
Mohd Faris Zulkifli
Junior Automotive Technician
HVAC / Vehicle Air Conditioning
“Electrical problems can be quite challenging, especially when the fault isn’t obvious. I wanted to improve my understanding of wiring diagrams and learn a more systematic way to troubleshoot. The course helped me understand how to trace circuits and use diagnostic tools properly instead of relying on trial and error.”
Chong Jia Ming
Senior Automotive Technician
Automotive Wiring & Electrical Training
“I had some experience with automotive air-conditioning, but troubleshooting was usually based on experience rather than following a proper diagnostic process. During the course, I learned to understand the system more systematically and how to identify possible causes before replacing parts. The practical session was especially helpful.”
Lim Jun Hao
