Technical understanding is the foundation of diagnostics
The work of BECKER-SYSTEMS is based on solid technical training, many years of hands-on vehicle diagnostics experience and continuous professional development.
Training and hands-on diagnostic experience as the foundation
The professional background includes training as an automotive mechanic and automotive electrician at Mercedes-Benz in Koblenz, a master craftsman qualification in automotive electrical engineering, and practical diagnostic experience at Mercedes-Benz.
Further training and specialist knowledge in logical fault diagnosis, electrical engineering and in-vehicle communication complement this background. The combination of traditional automotive training, vehicle electrics and advanced diagnostic practice forms the basis of BECKER-SYSTEMS today.
From automotive workshop training to specialist vehicle diagnostics
Ralph Becker’s professional development combines traditional automotive training, vehicle electrical engineering, practical diagnostic experience and further qualifications in electrical engineering.
Apprenticeship as an automotive mechanic
Professional training began at Mercedes-Benz in Koblenz, providing a practical foundation in vehicle technology, mechanics and the technical systems within a car.
Apprenticeship as an automotive electrician
This was followed by training as an automotive electrician, also at Mercedes-Benz in Koblenz, focusing on electrical systems, vehicle wiring and the increasingly important field of automotive electronics.
Master craftsman qualification in automotive electrical engineering
Completion of the master craftsman qualification in automotive electrical engineering at the Koblenz Chamber of Skilled Crafts, expanding practical expertise with advanced technical and professional knowledge.
English, Information Technology & PC Systems
Additional skills were acquired in English, information technology and PC systems—particularly valuable when working with modern diagnostic software and technical documentation.
Engine and powertrain diagnostics at Mercedes-Benz
This was followed by hands-on engine and powertrain diagnostics at Mercedes-Benz in Koblenz, marking an important transition from conventional repairs to systematic fault-finding and diagnostics.
Diagnostic specialist – body electrical systems – Mercedes-Benz, Stuttgart-Sindelfingen plant
Further work and specialisation at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart involved central technical support for workshops on diagnostics and fault-finding in body electrical systems and climate control, deepening the focus on complex vehicle electrical and electronic systems.
Advanced technical college entrance qualification in electrical engineering
Obtained an advanced technical college entrance qualification in electrical engineering in Koblenz. This training provides an important foundation for understanding circuits, signals and electronic systems.
Distance learning in electrical engineering
Further studies in electrical engineering were undertaken through the distance-learning university in Hagen, adding advanced electrical engineering knowledge to the technical background.
BECKER-SYSTEMS
BECKER-SYSTEMS was founded on this professional background, with a focus on vehicle diagnostics, automotive electronics and the systematic analysis of complex symptoms.
Further training in “Logical diagnostics”
Further training in “Logical diagnostics” with FCD.eu strengthened an approach that identifies faults not only through stored fault codes, but also by examining relationships, measurements and structured diagnostic procedures.
Task-force diagnostics
This also included specialist task-force diagnostic assignments for a major vehicle manufacturer, adding practical experience with particularly challenging cases to the training and workshop background.
