For repair shops, fleets, plants and aviation maintenance organizations

Mechanics, Maintenance & Manufacturing Onboarding Training

Technicians and machinists are expensive to slow down. Job-title training covers the vocabulary, procedures, measurement basics and safety culture so your senior techs can focus on your equipment and your standards.

Common onboarding challenges in mechanical and manufacturing

  • Senior techs losing billable hours to basic training
  • Comebacks and scrap from new-hire mistakes
  • Lockout/tagout and shop-safety habits that vary by person
  • Long ramp-up before a tech can work flat-rate efficiently

107 roles we train

Onboarding metrics to track

  • Time to independent work orders
  • Comeback, rework or scrap rate
  • Billable or productive hours versus target
  • 90-day retention

Questions from employers

How is pricing structured for teams?

Pricing is per learner, with volume discounts for larger groups and multi-course bundles. Tell us your roles and headcount on the form and we’ll send a quote. Volume pricing from 2 seats.

Is there a minimum number of learners?

No. You can enroll a single new hire or hundreds across multiple roles.

Can we mix courses across job titles?

Yes. Choose any combination of our 709 job-title trainings, for example, medical assistant and phlebotomist for a clinic, or forklift operator and warehouse associate for a distribution center.

How quickly can learners start?

Typically within a few business days of your request. Learners receive login details by email and can start immediately.

Do the courses replace OSHA, licensing or state-required training?

No. Our trainings are general, non-credit job-role courses. They complement, but do not replace, OSHA-required training, state licensing programs, manufacturer training or your own site-specific procedures.

How do we know who finished?

Learners earn a certificate of completion after passing the final knowledge check, and we can provide completion updates for your group on request.

Can you invoice our company or accept a purchase order?

Yes. Ask for an invoice or provide your PO details when you request a quote.
