Description

This training will introduce you to satellite-based vehicle tracking and fleet management systems, the IoT devices, sensors, and systems employed in rendering fleet tracking services, modern automotive electrical systems, how to make good installations, fuel monitoring systems, how to work with hosted back-end tracking systems, among others. The course offers thorough explanations on the working principles, while providing detailed step-by-step practical instructions on "the how to". GPS tracker Installation skills are in high demand. Students who complete this course will acquire the hard skills that will enable them install tracking devices on any automobile. Although the course was initially designed to train installers inhouse, the course curriculum has been revised severally to provide thorough explanations on the working principles of fleet tracking systems, how to evaluate and choose the right tracking system for any area of application, while providing special insights to enable persons saddled with the responsibility of overseeing fleet operations to plan, procure and oversee the deployment of fleet tracking systems in companies of all sizes. Fuel monitoring systems are gaining popularity among fleet operators, in recent times. In this course you will learn the various ways fuel monitoring can be achieved. Fuel level monitoring is not always about buying expensive aftermarket fuel level sensing units - knowing the available alternatives can save you or your company huge money.The course curriculum undergoes constant review. I will be adding more contents to the course over time. Once this is done, you will receive an email notification, if enrolled in the course.
