Intermediate Industrial Mechanical Maintenance
Overview
The Intermediate Industrial Mechanical Maintenance Program builds on the foundational knowledge gained in the Basic Industrial Mechanical Maintenance Program, focusing on advanced concepts, tools, and techniques. This program is designed for individuals ready to deepen their expertise and enhance their ability to maintain and troubleshoot complex industrial systems. This 304-hour program emphasizes preventive maintenance and troubleshooting of major pump, motor, hydraulic, and pneumatic system most commonly found in industrial environments.
Each of the six courses build upon the previous, offering a sequential and structured learning pathway that ensures comprehensive understanding and hands-on experience. Graduates of this program will be equipped to manage and maintain sophisticated industrial systems, troubleshoot complex issues, and contribute to the efficiency and reliability of modern manufacturing environments.
