Software Focus: EVC WinOLS
Viezu Technologies and Viezu Technical Academy return to Viezu USA in Miami for 2026. If you are based in North America, this is your opportunity to access in-person gasoline tuning and WinOLS training from leading European tuning experts.
The lead trainer for this gasoline tuning event is renowned UK-based tuner and EVC-Certified tuning trainer Simon White – technical director and managing director of Viezu Technologies. This is expert practical training that goes beyond theory, delivered by real-world tuners with extensive calibration and file development experience.
This intensive 3-day course is pitched at Beginner to Intermediate level. It is designed to take you from a WinOLS beginner, novice user, or early-stage file developer through to a more confident and structured working level. The course starts with the essential foundations of WinOLS and gasoline ECU logic, then progresses into practical map identification, tuning strategy, calibration workflows, and safe project development.
By the end of this course, you will have a solid working understanding of WinOLS and the confidence to approach gasoline tuning projects in a logical, professional, and structured way.
This is a user-friendly course for WinOLS beginners, but it also provides valuable progression for those who already have some experience with tuning, file services, remapping tools, or basic WinOLS use. You do not need to be an experienced WinOLS user to attend, but a basic understanding of engine tuning, ECU remapping, or gasoline engine operation will help you get the most from the training.
If you feel you may need some basic tuning training to help you prepare for this course, contact us at info@viezu.com or on +44 (0)1789 774444. We can discuss your requirements and help you prepare for the course.
Group sizes are kept small, allowing us to tailor content to the needs of the attendees. We encourage you to contact the lead trainer, Simon White, in advance to discuss any specific training topics you would like to cover. For example, if you work with particular vehicles, engines, ECU types, or tuning applications, we can include relevant examples where possible during the course.

Prerequisites and what you need to bring with you
You need to bring a laptop with genuine, up-to-date EVC WinOLS software installed and running smoothly.
You will need the full version of WinOLS. The demo version does not include all the features required for the training.
You can purchase the full version WinOLs software on the Viezu Technologies website.
This course is suitable for beginners to WinOLS, but attendees should ideally have some basic understanding of gasoline engines, ECU remapping, dyno tuning, file services, or vehicle calibration. If you are completely new to tuning, please contact us before booking so we can advise you on the best preparation.
Who this course is for:
- Tuners with experience using other tuning platforms who want to start using WinOLS
- File developers who want to extend their knowledge into gasoline tuning and WinOLS
- WinOLS beginners who want structured, practical, professional training
- Existing WinOLS users who want to improve their workflow, map identification and gasoline calibration knowledge
- Tuning businesses looking to develop their in-house file development capability
We are happy to talk with you and discuss your individual training needs, helping you build your tuning skills, improve your calibration knowledge, and grow your tuning or file development business.
