Can anybody recommend me any online classes related to automotive technology or high performance automotive to take while I'm overseas?

Depending on where you are, there are classes available you can attend and actually turn wrenches. They count towards either a technical certificate or an associates depending on what route you take.

I think your best bet would be to wait until you get back to do any classes. Every automotive and high performance school I know of always has shop or hands on portions of class. As far as I know, they don't desperate the hands on learning with the book learning.

Wait until you come back to state side duty there are great schools to choose from and most automotive companies and independent operators won’t accept online courses in that field. There is 40% classroom and 60% hands on training as well as 200-300 externship hours and homework. Plus you will get paid for your time in school that supplements your income. The best colleges are Wyotech, UTI, Walla Walla University you need ASE certification and more! Google it.

Feel free to purchase and start reading some ASE test study guides and auto service textbooks. I liked the one by James Halderman. Also, hang out at the Motor Pool on your off time to pick up some knowledge from the mechanics.

ASE manuals. If you want to focus on a particular make and model, read that manual. Penn Foster career college is good.
