Maintenance Skills Testing with SynergyTech
Maintenance Skills Assessments
SynergyTech has developed Maintenance Skills Assessment Tests
that are in line with NWA industry needs. The skills tests assess
an individual’s general knowledge of electrical, PLC, mechanical
and fluid power. The tests are based on the material covered by
the multi-craft courses offered at SynergyTech. They contain multiple-choice
questions and are allotted two hours to administer. Generally,
they require no more than one to one and one-half hours. In the
near future, SynergyTech will also be offering a hands-on skill
assessment. An example of this assessment may be a person who knows
Ohm’s law, but does not know how to physically measure current
flow.
Benefits of Assessing
- Allows management to identify what courses are needed or
not needed for an individual.
- Identify if individuals are ready
for vendor specific training.
- Informed career path decisions
Critical Skills Development
SynergyTech's Amatrol-based, hands-on Maintenance Technical Training
equips participants with the critical skills they need to knowledgably
and competently perform both preventive and reactive maintenance.
The skills developed within each discipline, whether it is Basic
AC/DC; Mechanical; Motor Controls; Hydraulics/Pneumatics or PLCs
also provide problem-solving activities such as components sizing
and selection; system layout and program design and challenges
workers to adapt to new situations by including:
- Troubleshooting
- Tuning/Adjustment
- Operation
- Installation
- Maintenance/Repair
- Applications
Make your workforce more knowledgeable and identify their skill-gaps
by assessing them with our Maintenance Skills
Assessment Test System. (MSATS)
SynergyTech's assessment tests are able to measure
existing general knowledge and provides collection
and reporting of assessment
data that can be used to:
- 1. Identify areas of expertise
- 2. Evaluate training needs
- 3. Inform team placements
- 4. Develop employment strategies
- 5. Steer career development.
SynergyTech can supply correlated results of
all assessments, with specific skills deficiencies
and recommendations for training.
We can also integrate your own skills tests
and quizzes from non-Amatrol products (OSHA
safety,
welding, etc.) so that
your entire maintenance training program
will have
a common and valuable method of assessment.
As well as being customizable to include
your own testing, SynergyTech is able to
provide
a hands-on
practical assessment to be delivered
as an element of the multiple-choice skills
assessment testing - this works well for
folk who for various
reasons, tend to perform
poorly when confronted with written knowledge
tests. The tests allow fast and effective
assessment of
your workforce either
onsite or at SynergyTech and at a time to
suit both work commitments and management
time constraints.
The basic test takes no more
than 2 hours to complete.
The Basic Maintenance Tests are comprised
of 900 multiple-choice questions drawn from
each
of the
5 disciplines.
