The courses cover both the theoretical knowledge and the practical skills required to become a professional tuner. We cater to individuals with little to no prior experience in the motor trade as well as experienced mechanics looking to specialise.
The Fundamentals of ECU Remapping
Our learning paths are designed so that you understand the core fundamentals of car tuning which is learning what ECU remapping is and how to explain the process correctly to customers. We have course introductions to different ECU types for petrol (gasoline), diesel and electric vehicles.
These courses teach you how to identify, read, and write remapping files safely through the OBD port, a fundamental skill for any tuning technician. For vehicles where OBD tuning isn’t possible due to manufacturer protections, our training delves into more advanced methods. You’ll also master bench and boot mode protocols, which involve connecting directly to the ECU. This ensures you have the skills to tune the widest range of vehicles, including the very latest models.

Practical, Hands-On Training on a 3000bhp Rolling Road
A key part of our training is the time you will spend in our state-of-the-art workshop. The VIEZU training centre at our UK headquarters in Bidford-Upon-Avon (directions) features a 3000bhp 4×4 rolling road or dynamometer. This allows you to test the remaps you write on live vehicles during the course. This practical experience is invaluable as it lets you see the real-world impact of your work and learn how to analyse data to perfect your tuning files.

No formal qualifications are required to start learning how to tune cars. Our car remapping courses are designed to provide beginner car tuning training for individuals with little or no previous experience in the motor trade. The most important qualification is a passion for vehicles and a desire to learn the technical skills required to perform remapping correctly and safely.
Can I remap my ECU myself?
Yes there are home tuning devices available such as the My Genius which allow you to install professionally written remap files yourself. These handheld devices plug into your car’s OBD port and allow you to switch between different tuning files including the vehicle’s original map. While these tools make the installation process simple, the tuning files themselves are still created by expert file writers to ensure they are safe and effective. For custom tuning and a deeper understanding we recommend professional car remapping course training.
Can anyone remap a car?
While our training is open to everyone regardless of background, remapping a car should only be undertaken by someone who has received the correct professional training. The process requires a deep understanding of engine control units (ECUs) software and the potential risks involved. Attempting to remap a car without the proper knowledge can lead to poor performance and costly damage to the vehicle’s engine.
