Manufacturing Maintenance Certification Program

developed in conjunction with
Bluegrass Business Consortium

The Manufacturing Maintenance Technician Certification Program is designed to provide basic and advanced training for new and existing maintenance personnel. The program is open to everyone, but job expectations and skills will be reinforced by job activities. We recommend a blend of maintenance training and “on the job” work activities for participants to receive the fullest benefits from the program.

The program features Basic and Advanced Certification. Each certification involves completion of selected technical classes that cover a variety of topics and three modules of foundation classes to provide comprehensive training in basic skills and management tools to complement the technical content of the program. All technical modules stress the four keys of manufacturing maintenance:

1.Safety

2.OSHA

3.Trouble Shooting

4.Preventive Maintenance

Convenient Class Schedule

Most classes are scheduled on Tuesday & Thursday afternoons 3:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m., lasting 3 hours per day or 6 hours per week.

Class schedules provide intense training in an environment of continuing education. Classes are scheduled for approximately 40 weeks per year with winter and summer breaks.
