FER Training Seminars (in-person) schedule
Monday 10th October – 7:00pm
Taking place at Nottingham College, the FER’s Hybrid training course focuses on the new challenges for conventional engine wear.
Thursday 13th October – 7:00pm
Taking place at Andover College, FER’s Hybrid training course focuses on the new challenges for conventional engine wear.
Given that modern hybrid vehicles still use a conventional piston engine, hybrid applications can apply considerable additional stresses and loads. The materials within the engine suffer from more wear and tear, as a result causing more work for engine builders. The FER training session on hybrids will deep dive into this additional strain on engine blocks caused by hybrid applications, to help technicians and engine builders understand the additional work required.
FER Conference and AGM 2022

FER will welcome lectures from DR1V on the aftermarket, Millers Oils on sample analysis, AMC will discuss cylinder head manufacturing, Ajusa will celebrate their 50th anniversary, ElringKlinger and MS Motorservice will offer a lecture on hybrid vehicles and the new challenges for conventional engine wear, and Ascend Brokers answer any FER member insurance concerns.
