I had time to go through the SHORTCUTS book so far and I am greatly impressed by the information contained in it. It is a well written book and very easy to understand. I can hardly wait to read it again!

Soon enough I will get to the cct [circuit board trainers and work] books for some hands on learning.

Thanks again Vince!

I study, and practice 6 days a week. There’s a ton of information. Basically I’m unlearning bad habits- and replacing them with the lessons I’m learning from your program.

I’m taking my time to understand your teachings. I’ve already used the information I’ve learned from you in every electrical problem I’ve gotten since receiving your program.

My confidence has increased which is scary- because now that I’m understanding better- I realize there is a lot more that could go wrong.

I find your approach in how you teach, and make sense of complicated electrical/ electronic theory, and how to diagnose problems with a “keep it simple” practical approach- amazing! As I continue to read and learn from you it is becoming apparently clear- that although I’ve graduated college, got my license, have had some electrical training throughout my career- that all those experiences still left inadequacies in my diagnosis skills. - but so far I find that your explanation of things really is patient, and that you break the information down to the “bare bones” making it easier to understand. It’s hard to explain, there are many books in the world trying to explain electrical information- diagnosis. But your approach just works better.

I want to compliment you on how you laid out your book SHORTCUTS. As part of my career, I rewrote technical manuals from years past. Old manuals used various words to mean the same thing when describing a part of a unit, such as a boiler, and if you weren’t familiar with a product, it became very confusing to know what was being said. - - - - I broke down the narrative so that a complete novice understood it. This is what you have done in your book and I really appreciate how you spoon feed the info to a baby.

When I was in the service, I had to pass courses in electronics to move up in grade. I was able to get by, but never really understood what was going on. I didn’t have to understand electronics to do my job, so I didn’t put much interest in it. When I got into industry as an industrial mechanic, I was a mechanical genius, top rated in mechanics, but really bad in understanding electric. This is a common problem in our industry. Very seldom is a mechanic also an electrician and vice versa.

I wish I had taken your courses about 30 years ago, but didn’t have the time or interest or need. Now that I am retired, I have plenty of time to learn something that always was lacking in my work life. I’m sure you’ve heard of someone going back to college after they retire to be a doctor. Plus, I still might run into a need to learn this. I have a lawnmower repair business and they have wiring problems. So, this will be a help to me. If not, I will take my education to the box and use it in Heaven, who knows?

Anyway, great job! I am really enjoying this.

Hey Vince, I went to one of your seminars in the 90s and also thought it was great! It took away a lot of the mysteries of electrical troubleshooting. I still have many of the articles that you wrote for Import Service (Magazine).

I salute you, Ed Smith in NY

Mr. Veejer I thought you might enjoy hearing how your training has helped me and American men and women in uniform.

Currently, I am about to get a technical manual revised with a safety issue dealing with Automatic traction control (ATC). I have read the 60 lesson course twice and also have studied your hands on trainer (H-111A) and the Electrical SHORTCUTS. We have corresponded before and this problem was my most challenging diagnostic problem ever but thanks to your training I have solved this complex problem … I am in Afghanistan … .

Your training has helped me to become the best electrical trouble shooter in Afghanistan and this is only one example out of dozens that I have solved to keep our war fighting mission going. The in-depth principle training with the laws of electricity has benefited me most not just your techniques but the understanding I have of electric circuits.

Hi Vince, I have been studying your electrics books and putting into practice at the workshop what I’ve learned from these I must admit wish I had this info years ago.

The Story: one of my colleagues checked a BMW 1 series for a no crank non start … he reported it required a starter motor because it sounded it was faulty … . a new starter was fitted and guess what, CLICK no crank and there was smoke coming from the starter area … I went over to the vehicle (to help) he said the new starter is faulty it’s burning up … I asked him to check the earth on the vehicle and he pointed to a jump lead he was using … I said you need to check from the battery at the battery to the engine block he said I can’t do that the battery is in the boot … I said it doesn’t matter where the battery is you must check from there, needless to say it was not checked and he removed the new starter and ordered another one … today another new starter (the second starter) was fitted and you know what the outcome was, yes click and smoke …

I did the tests from FIRST THINGS FIRST-Pro and found the engine block (voltage drop) was reading 10.5 volts … the earth cable was hanging together with dry corrosion when touched it came apart … and to top it all I found that the foreman also previously fitted a new battery too.

Thanks for your books I have learned from them in these situations. It gets frustrating when people just throw parts on, thanks to your books. I thoroughly carry out FIRST THINGS FIRST-Pro checks and it does help massively once you understand all the tests,

Hello sir, My name is Charles Perkins we talked last year for a while and I must say now after reading you instruction on the 60 lessons, SHORTCUTS and doing the practical lamp trainer and using my flip chart I am the go to guy in my shop.

I work for the military contract side dyncorp international. Thanks for all the help and instruction. Even though my peers see me as the go to guy I still need to learn more. I’m about to re-read the 60 lessons and take notes again. I also left a comment below referencing your school of instruction just so young techs can get a chance at real troubleshooting!

Vince, They were talking about things you were Thankful For this year. Well one thing I am thankful for is you and your electrical training.

Every tech working in the automotive field needs your training. As I have said many times, I wish in 1975 I would have had your training.

That would have made my electrical diagnosis a less stressful part of my career.

Vince, I appreciate all your training courses you provide. I appreciate everything you have done for me over the years. You are an excellent instructor, and a man of integrity.

Thank you and Happy New Year

Hello Vince, i must tell you how Great your teachings are. I have understood Ohms Law after studying “THE” Course way more than any other book i have read.

Your Teaching is the Best one can ever have. Its AWESOME!!!

I just finished studying the first 30 lessons and just thought of studying up to semiconductors and integrated circuits then i will begin my Hands On training.

Hello Vince: We purchased several of your kits that included the Power Board / Lamp Board, the DC Motor Board, the Relay Board, the Wiring Harness board and finally the CAN Bus board with all the workbooks.

My goal was to help those that had limited training on Electrical Systems and use it as a review for those that already had a handle on it. The initial Technicians were very happy to hear that we were going to give this class and came ready to learn. There were some stumbling blocks at first in regards to some basic terms, for example, what is the difference between 1.0 Ohm and 10,000 Ohms.

By the time we were half way through your program, the “light was on brightly” as they were able to build on your well-structured lesson plan. We are already seeing improvements in reduced time diagnosing electrical faults and tendencies to parts-swap in an effort to fix the problem. Their confidence tackling these problems has increased to a level I never expected. I am already getting complaints as to it taking so long for the rest of the Technicians into the class as we must fit it in with our normal schedules. These are complaints I like!

Thanks for your program and support. It is well worth it!

I own hard copies of Section 3,4,5,6 from your book Electrical SHORTCUTS and looking to get a .pdf format (.pdf became available in December 2018) to lighten my load as I travel around the world. Great references. Many of the principles and concepts taught in your literature have been invaluable at sea. As the saying goes 80% of Systems failures on vessels are due to electric issues.

How I heard about Veejer - Pure luck, looking around on the Internet. I have been working on cars for about 30 years and have had a lot of training from many different sources.

This course is better than any training I have ever had, just wish I had found it about 30 years ago.

I am finishing the first part (Phase 1 Curriculum) and look forward to getting the next course.

Hi Vince!,

I want to thank you again so much for your training back in the summer of 2008. We recognized some of our own weaknesses with delivering electrical theory and application to our students. We were in an honest search for some answers, and your training was what we decided to explore based on reviews and the application that would be provided while in attendance. I can truly say that it provided a much stronger foundation for me as an instructor as I considered how to best train our students about electrical/electronic circuits.

Our industry partners who have been the recipients of graduating students from our programs over the years, have been pleased with our students knowledge about circuits and how to approach troubleshooting electrical problems. The foundational skills and approaches to finding electrical problems in circuits that your training provided has truly been the best professional development that I have ever received as a professional instructor.

I will be forever grateful to you and your foundation for teaching a logical and systematic way of troubleshooting electrical circuits along with the theory and application to support the concepts.

P.S. I wish I would have taken more of an opportunity to attend some of your face-to-face trainings while they were being offered. The one in 2008 was fantastic, and I give all our program’s success with students in electrical troubleshooting to you.

Many years ago as a young technician, Vince’s courses took my knowledge of electrical troubleshooting and cemented them into my memory. I became the guy who fixed electrical problems. Later as a service instructor many of his methods and equipment techniques were in my delivered training. No B.S. just knowledge you’ll need.

I started out by taking your 60 lesson home study course. I enjoyed and learned so much from the home study course that I needed to go to Texas for your hands on class. Phase 1&2.

It was during that freeze in DEC. OF 2013 When all of Texas froze. We all had a really hard time flying out during the freeze and I had to stay another week stuck in my hotel room. I want to thank you for your kindness when you asked me to sit in on your Phase 3 class and participate in the class. The education you provide to technicians has really helped me in my career and made me a much better tech.

I just ordered your H-WB200 CAN BUS workbook to get up to speed on CAN BUS because all of our new fire trucks are running CAN BUS, my how everything has changed in the mechanics world. My boss always makes comments about a mechanic always carrying his lap top and not bending wrenches. Thanks for the kindness and the education.

I recommend Vince’s material. I had a high current draw (420 amps) on a truck starter and was able to troubleshoot it using V.E.T. SHORTCUTS. My problem turned out to be mechanical-a cylinder full of liquid, which does not compress!

I can’t say enough good things about Section 4 of your SHORTCUTS. It is excellent. Compared with what I know now about vehicle batteries from just one reading of Section 4 I knew basically nothing before!

Bought the SHORTCUTS book several years ago and it (is) an immense help to my diagnostics abilities . The YouTube videos are excellent help as well. I recommend both to anyone in the automotive field.

God bless.
