Course Description

The Practical Mechanical Maintenance & Troubleshooting for Facility Management Technicians program is a comprehensive technical training course designed specifically for mechanical technicians and maintenance personnel working within facility management environments.

The program focuses on the operation, inspection, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of common mechanical systems and equipment used in commercial buildings, residential towers, malls, hospitals, hotels, airports, and industrial facilities. Participants will develop practical technical skills required for maintaining HVAC systems, pumps, piping systems, plumbing equipment, valves, FCUs, AHUs, chilled water systems, drainage systems, and mechanical utilities.

The course emphasizes field-oriented maintenance procedures, fault diagnosis techniques, safety practices, maintenance planning, tool handling, and operational troubleshooting to improve equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and support efficient facility operations.

Through workshops, operational scenarios, demonstrations, troubleshooting exercises, and real-life case studies, participants will gain applicable knowledge that can be directly implemented in daily maintenance activities within facility management operations.
