This document details a correspondence course intended to be used in training full time dealer service personel who would be servicing Lucas electrical euipment.

In July 2018 I visited Britcar Service in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. Philip Allen has been in the business more than 50 years, and had a number of framed technical certificates on the wall. The one that made me smile was the Lucas certificate from 1967. This is the first time I have even personally know anyone who had completed the course and held the certificate.
