About Mechanical Maintenance Skills - Part 1
Our Mechanical Maintenance Skills Part 1 course provides hands-on practical experience in order to improve delegates’ mechanical skills, enabling them to successfully multi-skill in a variety of specialist areas involving pulleys/belts, sprockets/chains, bearings and pumps. The theory is followed by a demonstration of the task on a rig. Candidates will then practice the task before having a one-to-one, practical assessment. Underpinning knowledge is assessed by a written paper. Successful completion of the practical and written assessments results in the award of an MCP Consulting Group Certificate.
The Mechanical Maintenance Skills Programme is also available as an on-site, cost-effective alternative to our regular public training courses held at our training centre in Reading.
