HEPU TECH Academy

HEPU TECH Academy is our dedicated technical education program created for automotive workshops, mechanics and service professionals across the world.

Every episode is led by experienced specialists who discuss real cases, explain common mistakes and walk through the technical details that matter – from diagnostics and failure analysis to proper service procedures and selection criteria. No staged installations. No oversimplified tips. Just expert-level knowledge based on years of hands-on aftermarket experience.

How it works

Episodes are released on the HEPU® YouTube channel and promoted across our social media. Each episode is available with subtitles in multiple languages.

Alongside the video series, our Blog section publish written companions for every episode – full technical breakdowns, key takeaways and reference data. If you prefer reading over watching, or need to look something up quickly during a job, the blog has you covered.

Who is it for

HEPU TECH Academy is designed primarily for workshop professionals – but the knowledge is equally valuable for technical salespeople, counter staff and anyone who wants to understand cooling system.

Why we built it

Because knowledge is the best protection against costly mistakes. And because the mechanic who understands the system – not just the part – delivers a safer, more profitable repair.
