Trainees learn the fundamentals of electricity and electronics which provide the foundation for advanced training in electric motor controls, automated machine control circuits, conveyors, pumps, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, test equipment, production equipment (electrical, electronic, and mechanical), programmable controllers, automation and robotics. In the last phase of the course, students combine all their newly acquired skills in overall systemic troubleshooting and interfacing systems. Hands-on training and safety is stressed throughout the course.

This course also provides an excellent opportunity for those people who are already employed to upgrade their skills in order that they may advance into more challenging and profitable careers.

Technicians employed in the area of industrial maintenance are vital to all industrial operations.  Industry is currently in need of individuals who are capable of performing a variety of plant maintenance tasks.
