Up Your Skills: Machine Maintenance Certificate

Skills That Pay Off

Power up your maintenance skills and keep production running strong. The Machine Maintenance Certificate gives you hands-on training in the tools and techniques that keep manufacturing equipment performing at its best. You’ll master precision measurement, learn to troubleshoot real machine issues, get comfortable with industrial electricity, and work directly with drive components, hydraulics, and pneumatics. Every course builds practical confidence so you can reduce downtime, boost reliability, and step into maintenance roles that make an immediate impact on your team.

Prerequisite: Industrial Blueprint Reading

This course covers use of calipers, micrometers, English and metric gauges and other measuring instruments within a manufacturing environment. Topics include: English vs. metric, calibration of instruments, importance of repeatability, hands-on measurement of piece work, and instrument inspection and care.

This course covers methods and means used to troubleshoot and maintain machines typically found in a manufacturing environment. Problem symptoms, problem identification, maintenance records and systems will be covered.

This course is designed to give maintenance people a basic understanding of safely working with and around electricity in an industrial environment. The course topics include: electrical theory, power and control circuits, DC and AC, batteries’ inductance, capacitance, transformers, measuring of circuits, lighting, machines, single and three phase motors, control circuits and components, and maintenance procedures.

This course instructs students in the principles, applications, and maintenance of various types of bearings and mechanical couplings, including ball and roller, powdered metal, non-metallic, hydrostatic bearings; couplings: such as shear, torque limiting, floating and insulated, speed reducers, seals and gears.

This course provides instruction in the basics of hydraulic and pneumatic systems including pumps, valving, control assemblies, and actuators. A general understanding of basic laws and formulas used in simple hydraulic circuits, including standard hydraulic symbols, and maintenance procedures will be provided.
