Go from confused tech to confident problem-solver with field-proven step-by-step training. (PLCs included)

If no one ever showed you how to think like a troubleshooter — that changes here. You don’t need to be a genius. You need a method. That’s what we teach.

The Fault Fixer Troubleshooting Course is a self-paced course that teaches maintenance technicians how to troubleshoot industrial control systems with confidence—one skill at a time. Through practical, short and focused lessons, you’ll learn how to read schematics, use your multimeter properly, test components, and follow a proven troubleshooting process that works in real-world environments.

All lessons are online and available 24/7, so you can learn at your own pace—whether during downtime, between shifts, or after hours.

What You’ll Learn

1. Electrical Schematics: Read and Navigate with Confidence

• Identify wires, terminals, and components on real-world schematics

• Navigate multi-page diagrams using wire numbers, page links, and legends

• Understand high voltage, low voltage, 0V/ground, and control circuits

• Trace safety systems, VFDs, and PLC input/output circuits

2. Multimeter and Clamp Meter: Use Them Like a Pro

• Safely measure voltage, amperage, resistance, and continuity

• Know when and how to use each test function correctly

• Avoid common mistakes that lead to inaccurate results

• Gain confidence placing leads on live circuits

Real Results from Real Technicians

(Here are some off-site testimonials until this Udemy course listing generates some traction)

• Dustin Alsbrooks: A maintenance manager in over his head - After training his crew with the Fault Fixer Troubleshooting Course, Dusty led a dramatic turnaround—cutting downtime by 30% and achieving 98% machine uptime in a food production plant.

• James McCallister: James was the 'best' electrician at his company, but he described himself as ‘scared' of robotics at first—but after the training, he became the plant’s go-to robotics expert who fixes issues others can’t.

• Cowboy (yes, it's a nickname): Dustin's direct report. "He's either going to blow something up or he's going to figure it out." Well, Cowboy figured it out! He went from ZERO understanding of controls to a Lead Tech at a new company.

• Patrick Stansell: “‘I wish I had this when I started maintenance.’ A technician with zero control system experience went from ‘not even knowing how to chase a safety circuit’ to diagnosing issues quickly and confidently.”

• Michael Gonzales: "You explained it—and now I feel stupid for not understanding it the first time." The training helped him confidently interpret schematics and troubleshoot complex systems.

• And these are just a few—dozens more techs and managers have seen real transformation with this training.
