Program Description

The General Maintenance Mechanic certificate program provides the student with the fundamental skills necessary to maintain and repair building systems of public and private facilities. Students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to perform preventative maintenance and repair functions as they relate to the building’s structure, plumbing, electrical wiring and lighting, and heating and air conditioning systems. Safety practices are also emphasized. High school graduation or GED is required for graduation from this program.

Employment Opportunities

The need for entry level maintenance personnel is substantiated by local business and industry requests for Augusta Technical College to train applicants in more than one specialized area. This certificate presents the opportunity for those desiring to obtain a marketable skill in a minimum amount of time. With the industrial base that exists in the CSRA, it is estimated that there will be more jobs available than qualified applicants.
