Industrial Maintenance Certificate

Overview
Courses

Industrial maintenance mechanics are employed in the die-casting, plastics, food processing, printing, precision metal and woodworking industries. The vocational certificate course work includes a broad curriculum of industrial electricity, welding, HVAC and blueprint reading. Emphasis will be hands-on training in the repairing and testing of equipment. This also allows students employed in an industrial maintenance position to broaden their skill areas and achieve a vocational certificate.

Note: MFAB 120 - MFAB Tools and Equipment or MFAB 127-Welding Processes are prerequisites/corequisites to MFAB 121. Students who may have the skills needed for MFAB 120 or MFAB 127 may contact the career program facilitator for a waiver or may contact the Testing Center for prior learning credit.
