The course is predominantly 'hands on' and covers a wide selection of products from most major manufacturers.
The structure of the course means that it is equally suitable for candidates with no previous knowledge as well as those with some electrical or mechanical background wishing to gain specific knowledge relating to appliance repair.
As the training and the resulting work as an appliance service engineer involves the use of a range of hand tools such as screwdrivers, spanners and socket sets etc and we suggest that candidates are familiar with the use and application of such basic tools.
This does not mean you need to have any formal qualification or be from an engineering background all you need is a basic understanding tools and their use – most ‘DIYers’ and practical people possess these basic skills.
During the course you will gain the knowledge and practical application of how these basic tools are used in respect of domestic appliance repair and servicing.
With this in mind the main criteria for any candidate is their willingness to learn a varied and interesting range of new skills.
Depth of knowledge in addition to practical skills is essential for all service personnel which this course is specifically designed to provide. Subject areas covered include:
- Health & Safety
- Safer Working Practices
- Basic Plumbing
- Electrical Knowledge
- Component Function
- Fault Finding Techniques
- Use of Circuit Diagrams & Sequence Charts
- Practical Application of Skills Learnt.
The training provided may then be used to assist candidates in gaining relevant NVQs* as required. However, NVQ acquisition can only be realised by actually applying what you have learnt in a true working environment. Assistance, direction and assessment can be provided by Dixon Training for those who wish to acquire their NVQ* awards in their chosen subject area such as Home Laundry.
The first day of the course has been designed to include the most important aspects of the Safer Working Practices 'best practice' course.
This particular section of the course is relevant to all Class 1 appliances (automatic washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers) and its inclusion on this course is essential.
*NOTE: NVQ’s are to be replaced as a qualification called QCF’s however, the new qualification will not be all that dissimilar and we are working closely with Summit Skills and the QCF to be in a position to offer routes to this new qualification when it becomes available.
