THIS  TSA  WORKSHOP  IS  DESIGNED  FOR:

• Maintenance & Facility Personnel who maintain Mechanical & Electrical Systems

This workshop has been designed to meet the needs of both NEW and EXPERIENCED maintenance staff who must trouble-shoot, service, and perform preventive maintenance on various mechanical and electrical equipment at their facilities.  Participants will be provided a detailed workbook that explains how to trouble-shoot and service mechanical and electrical equipment, which will be theirs to use as reference later on the job.

The workshop leader is a highly skilled professional trainer in the Electrical and Mechanical Field with many years of experience in the Industry.  TSA certificates will be presented to everyone who attends the workshop.
