What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Diploma)

Diagnostic testing equipment including ammeters, wattmeters, and voltmeters — independently measure velocity, rpm, amperage, and voltage to identify malfunctions in electric motors and generators with minimal oversight.
Schematic drawings and manufacturer specifications — interpret technical documents without assistance to plan and execute repairs on common motor and power tool failures in a commercial repair shop.
Hand tools and power tools — repair and rebuild defective mechanical parts in motors and generators, applying learned techniques to routine cases in a production repair environment.
Motor reassembly procedures and electrical meters — reassemble repaired electric motors to specified ratings and requirements, verifying output with test instruments before returning units to service.
Crane and chain hoist operation — lift and position heavy motor assemblies or subassemblies safely, coordinating with coworkers or signaling operators during medium-complexity equipment handling tasks.
Shop record-keeping and database software — accurately log repair histories, parts consumed, and labor time into facilities management or database systems with limited supervisor review.
Troubleshooting frameworks for recurring faults — diagnose common failure patterns in power tools and related equipment by applying systematic elimination methods across familiar equipment types.
Adjustment tools and precision gauges — calibrate working parts such as fan belts and contact springs to manufacturer tolerances across a variety of motor models in daily repair workflow.
Quality control checklists and post-repair testing — verify repaired units meet output and safety specifications before release, applying standard quality analysis procedures independently.
Customer and coworker communication — explain repair findings, estimated timelines, and parts requirements clearly when interacting with service counter staff or end users in a retail or commercial repair setting.
