Bosch Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) Operator-Technician
(2-day course)
This course will provide an understanding of the components of the Bosch CDR Tool exposing the user to the basic functions of the hardware and software. The goal is for the user to confidently collect and preserve data from supported vehicles using the standard OBD II (DLC) port, or in some cases directly from the airbag control module (ACM).
This course is pre-approved for 16 ACTAR CEUs.
This class is a prerequisite for Bosch CDR report data analysis courses.

| Advanced Troubleshooting & Vehicle Systems for the CDR/EDR Operator-Technician (5-day course)
This course is pre-approved for 40 ACTAR CEUs.
Click here to see what our former students had to say about this course.
This course provides the CDR/EDR Tool user with an advanced skillset to conduct DLC imaging in more difficult situations where other users might not be able to. Attendees will learn to troubleshoot vehicle electrical systems as well as “connecting” to the vehicle when the DLC is damaged or not accessible. The experienced CDR Tool user will gain a better understanding of the various vehicle system components that “provide” information to the ACM, their locations, as well as how to “test” them.
Most, if not all, of the skills taught in this class will apply to other EDR tools such as Hyundai/Kia.

Hyundai-Kia EDR Tool Operator-Technician Course
This course will provide an understanding of the components of the Hyundai-Kia EDR tools exposing the user to the basic functions of the hardware and software. The concepts are the same as for the Bosch CDR Tool for data collection so this course will be specific to the hardware/software and not necessarily the process.
It is anticipated this course would be approved for 2-4 ACTAR CEUs.
|
Tesla EDR Tool Operator-Technician Course
This course will provide an understanding of the components of the Tesla EDR tool exposing the user to the basic functions of the hardware and software. The concepts are the same as for the Bosch CDR Tool for data collection so this course will be specific to the hardware/software and not necessarily the process.
It is anticipated this course would be approved for 2-4 ACTAR CEUs.
