Hello, my name is Matthew Bauman and I'd like to tell you about the class I attended at Engine City Technical Institute. The class I attended dealt with Foundation Brake and Air Systems. The course covered how to properly inspect and repair air systems and foundation brakes. The course also included how to identify and adjust air disk or drum brakes by manufacturer. Additional items covered included hands-on training for performing a brake job and inspection and testing of related components for wear and damage while hitting problem areas and showing usage of the correct tools and procedures for wheel bearing adjustments and checks. I think the biggest advantage of the coarse is the amount of detail described about air systems, the class definitely gave me better troubleshooting skills. I came away from the class feeling more confident and prepared to tackle any brake problems. |
