                                                   International Edition 
                Known as the automotive industry’s premier provider of online training programs, CDX 
                Automotive will now change the face of automotive textbook publishing with the first 
                international edition of Fundamentals of Automotive Technology: Principles and Practice.
                Based on the latest international education standards, the Fundamentals of Automotive 
                Technology offers comprehensive coverage of both knowledge and associated tasks with 
                clarity and precision in a concise format that ensures student comprehension and encourages 
                critical thinking. Automotive technicians needs to know how to safely and effectively perform 
                maintenance, diagnose, and repair automobiles. Fundamentals of Automotive Technology 
                provides all of the critical knowledge and skills components necessary to perform these 
                essential tasks.
                The text features an unrivalled focus on diagnostics to help students build diagnostic skills 
                that will be required in the workshop. Additionally, CDX Automotive’s renowned Know-See-
                Do-Prove instructional methodology is reinforced throughout the text with icons so that 
                students always know where they are in the learning process.
                Fundamentals of Automotive Technology features:
                n  Hundreds of “Procedures” that provide written, step-by-step instructions and visual 
                   summaries of important skills and procedures.                                                             International Edition
