Performance Component: Connect and Operate a Circuit (20%); Assemble a Multiple Shaft Gear Drive System (31%); Read and Interpret an Industrial Blueprint (29%); and Troubleshoot an Electrical Control System (20%).

Instruction: 

NOCTI and NBS exams assess individuals' end-of-program knowledge and skills in an online proctored proficiency examination format. In addition, some programs administer a NOCTI/NBS performance component test to assess application of skills.

Credit recommendation: 

In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in Industrial Maintenance Mechanics (11/13) (11/18 revalidation) (11/23 revalidation). NOTE: An additional 1-2 credits may be awarded based on successful completion of the Performance Component when given in conjunction with the written proficiency examination
