Participants will learn from a curriculum that includes the fundamentals of compressed air; tactics for air system failure mode diagnosis and troubleshooting; and air brake system and foundation brake components, including air compressors, valves, foundation drum brakes and air disc brakes, slack adjusters, brake chambers, shoes, and drums.

Additional topics covered include antilock braking systems (ABS) and stability technologies such as the Bendix ESP (Electronic Stability Program). Participants receive a workbook, enabling them to take lessons home.
