Holley's popular factory training courses are back in 2026 with an updated curriculum to stay current with Holley EFI system updates. !!!!! New for 2026 is the Sniper EFI 101 training class !!!!!. These factory direct training classes provide a unique opportunity to get advanced training and technical experience with Holley EFI directly from the people that developed the products you use. These courses are presented in a comfortable environment near Holley's company headquarters in Bowling Green, Kentucky and provide technical training for dealers, racers, and any other user of their popular EFI systems. Based on student feedback and requests, we have extended some of the classes in 2026 by an additional day. Class participants will be eligible for a one-time product discount through the training center. Class participants will receive quality printed reference and training manuals. in addition, a hearty breakfast and lunch is also provided each day.

New for 2026: Sniper 101

This will be a three day hybrid class consisting of two day class room and one day in the lab

This class will be three days. If you have wanted a class that teaches the fundamentals of a proper installation and you learn better when you get your hands dirty ..... This class is for you. From hardware installation, proper wiring and fuel system installation, ignition system installation and set up this class covers it all. We will spend 2 days in the classroom and 1 day in the lab installing a Sniper 2 system including hardware installation, distributor and ignition system installation, wiring and fuel system installation initial set up and basic tuning and trouble shooting. At the end of this class, participants will have the tools they need to successfully complete a conventional Sniper 2 EFI installation. Class space is currently limited to 10-15 people per session. The goal of the limited space is to allow the instructor the ability to work with each participant one-on-one as much as possible. This class is ideal for those who are new to EFI in general, as well as those who are new to Sniper EFI systems. This is a three-day class held in our training center in Bowling Green, Kentucky with a cost of $750.00 that will run from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The following topics will be covered in the class: The following topics will be covered in the class:

Conventional Holley EFI courses

These courses provide three levels of EFI training. These classes are geared towards the HP, Dominator and Terminator X platforms. but the curriculum will carry over into all systems. The first class is Tier one. This class has been extended to three days in 2026. At the end of this class, participants will have the tools they need to successfully complete a conventional "canned" Holley EFI installation. Class space is currently limited to 15-20 people per session. The goal of the limited space is to allow the instructor the ability to work with each participant one-on-one as much as possible. This class is ideal for those who are new to EFI in general, as well as those who are new to Holley's EFI systems.

And more

The Tier Three class will take all the previously covered information and apply it to more complicated engine combinations that utilize turbochargers, nitrous oxide, active speed management, Advanced one and two axis control tables and water/methanol injection. Like the tier two course, this course is limited to 15-20 people per session, it runs from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and will be a two-day class with a cost of $450.00. Prior completion of the Tier two class is required. The following topics will be covered in this course.

"Holley factory training is a fantastic way to get unique one-on-one time with our engineers and lead techs," says Bill Tichenor, Holley’s Director of Marketing. "The knowledge gained from these courses helps improve sales for our dealers and gives users specialized instruction to improve their general EFI understanding, as well as the tuning capabilities of Holley's EFI systems."

In addition to EFI classes we offer Holley Carburetor classes

Carburetor 101

The Holley model 4150/4160 platform has been in production since 1956 first debuting on a 1957 Ford Thunderbird 312 and over the past 64 years they have been used on countless OEM production vehicles. Nearly every form of performance automotive and marine application one can think of, has relied on a Holley carburetor to deliver power reliably for years on end. No longer will carbureted fueling methods seem like "black magic", by the end of this course you will have a fundamental understanding of the various circuits and their functions as well as initial setup, tuning and proper rebuilding procedures.

This course is intended to clear up general misconceptions about carbureted fuel systems as well as give students firsthand experience on tearing down, inspecting and reassembling a model 4150 or model 4160 carburetor. Course registration is on a first-come first-serve basis, so take advantage by registering early!

Each participant will be provided with a loaner carburetor for practical training and disassembly. Participants may bring their own carburetor, but it must be clean, dry and free of fuel/solvent fumes.
