The one-year curriculum is typically divided into modules covering the main systems of a vehicle.
This initial module focuses on setting the foundation for safe and effective work in an automotive environment.
Workshop Safety (OSH&E): Safety signs, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), basic first aid, fire extinguishers (types and use), and safe handling of fuels and lubricants.
Tools & Equipment: Identification, correct use, and maintenance of all common hand tools (spanners, wrenches, torque wrenches), specialized tools, measuring instruments (micrometers, vernier calipers, feeler gauges), and workshop equipment (jacks, lifts, air compressors).
Basic Fitting & Fastening: Practice in basic bench work (filing, drilling, tapping), understanding of threads, and the use of different types of fasteners, gaskets, and sealants.
This is the largest and most critical part of the syllabus, covering both petrol (gasoline) and diesel engines.
| Component / System | Key Skills Covered |
|---|---|
| Engine Mechanics | Dismantling, checking, and reassembling the engine. Overhauling components like the cylinder head, valve train, pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft. Checking engine compression and vacuum. |
| Fuel System | Servicing carburetors and modern Fuel Injection Systems (MPFI, CRDI). Replacing fuel filters, diagnosing fuel pressure, and servicing air cleaners. Understanding LPG/CNG systems (in some modern curricula). |
| Cooling System | Checking and replacing coolants. Diagnosing issues with the radiator, water pump, thermostat, and cooling fans. |
| Lubrication System | Understanding different oil grades (viscosity), changing engine oil and filters, and diagnosing lubrication system faults (e.g., oil pressure issues). |
| Intake & Exhaust | Servicing air filters and manifold systems. Understanding and monitoring vehicle emissions and emission control components (e.g., catalytic converters, EGR). |
This section covers the systems that transfer power from the engine to the wheels.
Clutch: Adjustment of clutch free play, dismantling, inspection, and reassembly of clutch assemblies.
Gearbox (Transmission): Principles of manual transmission. Identification of components, basic service, and repair of gearboxes.
Driveshaft & Differential: Inspection and maintenance of propeller shafts, drive axles, and the differential unit.
These are the foundational systems that control the vehicle's movement and stability.
Braking System: Servicing hydraulic and air brake systems. Dismantling, inspection, and reassembly of brake drums, shoes, pads, and cylinders. Bleeding the brake system.
Steering System: Principles of steering, maintenance of Rack-and-Pinion and Recirculating Ball steering gears. Checking and adjusting steering play.
Suspension: Inspection and repair of spring types (leaf, coil, torsion bar) and shock absorbers (dampers).
Wheels & Tires: Tyre inspection, tire rotation, basic Wheel Balancing and Wheel Alignment procedures.
Focus on the vehicle's low-voltage electrical components and wiring.
Basic Electricity: Ohm's law, circuits (series/parallel), and wiring diagrams.
Battery: Testing, charging, and maintenance of Lead-Acid and SMF (Maintenance-Free) batteries.
Charging System: Overhauling and troubleshooting the Alternator.
Starting System: Overhauling and troubleshooting the Starter Motor.
Wiring & Accessories: Diagnosing defects in fuses, relays, lights, indicators, and horns. Introduction to Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and basic use of an OBD Scanner for diagnostics.
Like most vocational diplomas, the MMV course includes foundational technical and life skills:
Workshop Calculation & Science: Basic mathematics (units, fractions, geometry), basic physics (force, torque, work, power, heat), and properties of materials.
Engineering Drawing: Reading and interpreting engineering drawings (orthographic and isometric views), sketching of machine parts and vehicle systems (e.g., cooling or fuel circuit diagrams).
Employability Skills: Communication skills, IT literacy, entrepreneurship, and professional ethics.
On-the-Job Training (OJT): Many programs mandate a period of OJT or a group project to provide practical industry experience.
