Want to become a Certified Tuner

G37Sam · 09-07-2009, 07:00 PM

Yup as the title suggests, I'm looking into becoming a Certified ECU Tuner (like a Motec/Haltech/UniChip or even OEM "reflasher" etc..) Only problem is, there aren't any good schools/colleges/institutes in that field or anything to do with automotive tuning in general in Dubai.

I'm still researching and studying the idea, but it's really starting to grow on me. I believe I do have enough background to back that up, a BS in Mechanical Engineering (specialized in Mechatronics & Internal Combustion Engines). I've played around with a few Micro-Controllers, designed & programmed a Segway (wasn't easy btw) and lots of other freaky robots.

I know there are quite a few brains in this forum and would really appreciate if you could chime in. Any advice you can throw at me I'll have framed and hung on my wall

I heard they have a few decent schools in Australia & Japan (can't speak Japanese unfortunately)

couldnt you just teach yourself and start a company? you could put your shop on the little island that looks like japan they are building and say your a japanese tuner.
