Due to the forecast of inclement weather, all Wake Tech campuses will be closed Wednesday. In-person classes are canceled, but online classes continue as scheduled. Students can still register for eight-week courses, and prospective students can apply online. Many Wake Tech services are available virtually. Employees who can work remotely should do so.
The Hydraulics, Engines and Transmissions Certificate provides individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to troubleshoot and repair hydraulics, engines and transmissions in construction equipment. The core course work includes the theory of operations, troubleshooting techniques and repair procedures for engines and hydraulics systems.
The concentration courses will also include transmissions.
Graduates should qualify for entry-level employment opportunities at businesses that repair construction equipment. Entry and advancement levels depend on the amount of training completed, knowledge and ability levels, work performance and ethics.
