Course description
The "Analytical Electrical Troubleshooting Skills for Mechanical Technicians" course is a five-day intensive training program designed to enhance the electrical troubleshooting skills of mechanical technicians through the application of analytical thinking and deductive reasoning. Developed and continuously refined over twenty years by a team of Master Troubleshooters, this course has evolved through feedback from thousands of participants into an effective system for significantly reducing unplanned downtime and improving troubleshooting processes.
Designed for mechanical technicians tasked with diagnosing and repairing electrical systems on mechanical equipment, this program equips participants with a rigorous proprietary troubleshooting process. By the end of the course, technicians are expected to significantly reduce the downtime of electrical equipment they manage.
This program stands out for its hands-on learning approach, experienced instructors, and commitment to improving the analytical troubleshooting capabilities of mechanical technicians in industrial settings.

Training content
Course content covers a wide array of topics, focusing on developing a logical, structured approach to troubleshooting electrical circuits and systems.
It begins with fostering analytical and critical thinking skills, moves through the stages of preparing for troubleshooting by gathering data and selecting tools, and then delves into the analysis of faulted systems to deduce the type and location of faults.
Participants learn to plan their troubleshooting approach based on both empirical and inferred data, conduct a series of non-redundant tests while controlling hazards, and record and interpret test results to identify the cause of failure.
Specific areas of focus include:
- troubleshooting DC system problems
- single-phase and three-phase motor circuit problems
- electrical control system issues
- unknown system problems.
The course concludes with an evaluation of learned skills and a review of course goals, ensuring participants leave with a solid foundation in analytical electrical troubleshooting applicable to a broad range of scenarios.
Course delivery details
Participants engage in hands-on learning, spending 90% of their time diagnosing and fixing realistic faults using both hardwired and software simulators under the direct guidance of experienced instructors.
This practical approach is based on the Canada Training Group's proprietary Analytical Electrical Troubleshooting™ methodology, which is adept at honing the skills of both novice and veteran troubleshooters.
The course promises not just an improvement in troubleshooting skills—reportedly up to 25% for experienced technicians and 200-300% for others—but also a substantial increase in job satisfaction and productivity due to enhanced competency and confidence.
