The questions we are asked
Is predictive maintenance covered?
It is covered in principle: take a reading, track it over time, trigger an intervention on a threshold. That is what makes a maintenance policy manageable.
Do I need workshop experience?
It helps and is credited at admission. The first block lays the mechanical and electrical foundations for those arriving from elsewhere.
Is a spreadsheet really useful in production?
It is the most widespread management tool on the shop floor: downtime tracking, availability rates, maintenance plans. The advanced track is devoted to it.
