About the Certificate Program
TRSA has partnered with TPC Training, a leader in industrial training and workforce management solutions, to offer a new online program for maintenance tech positions, offering plants a way to advance the experience and training of their plant maintenance crew without taking them out of the plant.
The program offers three types of maintenance tech training: Maintenance Tech 1, Maintenance Tech 2 and Maintenance Manager. Each maintenance tech type is broken into two certification levels and can be completed in less than 1 year averaging 2-4 hours per week. An engineer with no experience to a more experienced engineer can test out of certain classes to obtain the level of certificate the student is attempting to achieve. Taking the full course load could take up to six years to complete full 3 certificates.
This order includes a 365-day subscription to all classes and levels of the Maintenance Certificate Program.
