Small Engine Mechanic - DOL Registered Pre-Apprenticeship Program, Employment Skills Training Program, Job Training Program

Students will learn theory and operation related to the overall function of engines, fuel, air, AC & DC and electrical found in common lawn equipment. Heavy emphasis is placed upon interaction with students and their particular needs and equipment. Safety is a major focus. Teaching methods include lectures, videos, demonstrations, and hands-on disassembly and reassembly. On hand we have equipment from Echo, Shindaiwa, Honda, and John Deere. Students are encouraged to bring their equipment in need of repair within space and time limitations.

Completion of this class will increase confidence and ability to tackle small engine issues. Former students have secured local employment in repair shops, as well as improved their job performance in servicing their organization's equipment such as those serving lawn care companies.
