Bosch D-Jetronic Course: Early Electronics in Classic Cars
Online 300-hour course in Bosch D-Jetronic: early electronics in classic cars. 6 modules covering ISO 6722-1 (low-voltage cables for vehicles), ISO 7637-2 (transient electrical disturbances) and PicoScope. Assigned tutor and open enrolment.
Bosch D-Jetronic Course: Early Electronics in Classic Cars — studying from India
India has a strong heritage of classic vehicles, motorcycles and machinery, with active enthusiast communities and specialist workshops in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Chennai. Interest in vintage cars and motorcycles, including classic Ambassador and Royal Enfield models, has grown steadily. Restoration work combines historical research, metalwork, mechanical rebuilding and conservation techniques. While formal regulation is limited, vehicle registration and roadworthiness fall under state transport authorities, and the Automotive Research Association of India provides technical expertise. Engineers and craftspeople in this area focus on restoration, documentation and technical authenticity.
Fees for India: ₹47,500 (Indian Rupee), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from India
Is there a recognised body in India for classic vehicle restoration?
There is no statutory title for classic restoration in India. Vehicle standards and registration involve bodies such as the Automotive Research Association of India, and enthusiast clubs operate informally. SEIUM's qualification is a private one and is not accredited by any national body, so its value depends on how employers and clients see it.
Which employers or clients in India use classic restoration skills?
Specialist restoration workshops, collectors, classic car dealers, and heritage motoring firms are typical employers and clients. Work is often based on reputation and a portfolio of completed restorations. A private qualification may support your background, but clients and employers will judge your actual craftsmanship.
Can I study this part-time from India, and is it in English?
The programme is 100% online and taught in English, so you need a working level of English. You can study from home anywhere in India without a student visa, and an assigned technical tutor supports you. Fees are payable in instalments, and employer sponsorship is possible if your workplace will fund it.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it easy to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is PicoScope, KiCad, advanced Excel, LTspice, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The tests are studied through real procedures: measuring sensor signals with an oscilloscope, fuel pressure testing, and bench diagnosis of the control unit. Assessment is continuous across modules, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Explain how the first manifold-pressure electronic fuel injection system works.
Measure and verify the signals from the pressure sensor and other sensors.
Inspect the control unit, wiring and connections.
Check the fuel supply circuit and its pressures.
Diagnose typical faults using a systematic method.
