This course is part of a basic industrial maintenance series which allows students to complete a concentrated course in a specific maintenance topic in one week. This format is designed to minimize disruption in work and personal schedules as compared to less concentrated courses meeting over a longer period of time. These courses are ideal for employees participating in an apprenticeship or other internal training programs who have a need for basic maintenance skills followed by some type of supervised on-the-job instruction.
