Automotive - Road Trip Ready - Inspection & Common Diagnosing (Age 11-14)

Are you confident that your daily vehicle is actually safe and prepared to drive? These lessons will teach learners how to thoroughly inspect inside, outside, under the hood, and underneath the car in order to be confident that it is indeed prepared for the road. We will cover how multiple different systems and components of the car work and how to properly inspect that they are safe and prepared for the road. I will probably not be covering how to REPAIR anything in this particular series because repairs often require more in-depth time and safety to teach. 

Most classes will begin in my classroom for teaching, and then we will end each session by looking at real life examples with the vehicle(s) I have with me. We will always have time for questions both during and at the end of classes.

*Each class is a stand-alone - you can enroll and leave between classes because this is an Ongoing Class. However, after 6 weeks we will start over the same lessons in case you want to un-enroll.

If you are someone who has zero to little automotive knowledge that wants to learn, then you have come to the right place. In addition, if you already know the basics about cars, then you will acquire a clearer understanding and build upon what you already know. All my lessons will be taught with clear visuals and explanations because I know automotive repair can be confusing to learn.

*Please submit a schedule request if you don't see a time that works for you! I can be flexible!

*Refund Policy: Follows Outschool guidelines. At times I am generous, but because this class requires a lot of setup time for me, I won't be able to provide a refund if a student misses class without notifying me in advance!
