The industrial controls troubleshooting process the go-to tech on every floor figured out early — and everyone else spent years learning the hard way.
Techs from these companies use the Fault Fixer Troubleshooting Course
Vocational school covered the basics. The floor demands real industrial troubleshooting. You can do the physical work — but when a panel-level electrical problem hits and everyone's watching, the gap between what you know and what you need becomes obvious fast.
The old heads already wrote off your generation before you said a word. The only way to change that opinion is competence — and you need a process to build it fast.
Apprenticeships are rare and unstructured. Senior techs guard what they know. You got thrown in and expected to figure it out — like everyone else does. Slowly. Painfully.
Generic videos don't build a thinking process. They give isolated answers — and when the machine in front of you doesn't match the video, you're back to guessing.
"I stood there for two hours staring at that panel and had no idea where to start. A senior guy came over, fixed it in 10 minutes, and just walked away. Didn't say a word."
— Maintenance Tech, Year 1 · Reddit r/IndustrialMaintenanceNot for engineers. Not for 20-year veterans. For the tech who's 0–3 years in and done waiting for someone else to show them the process.

The maintenance industry doesn't train new techs on how to troubleshoot. It throws them at problems and lets trial-and-error be the teacher.
Without a foundational process — reading schematics, using meters, testing components, following a logical fault-finding sequence — every breakdown is a fresh guessing game. Experience accumulates but the process never gets built. Most techs don't realize this is happening until a moment of public failure makes it undeniable.
You don't have to wait for that moment.
Trial-and-error isn't a learning method. It's what fills the gap when nobody teaches you the process.
The longer it runs, the harder the gap is to fill — and the more visible the gap becomes. Most techs spend years in it before they figure out why. The Fault Fixer Troubleshooting Course is built to give you the process before the trap takes hold.
The Fault Fixer Troubleshooting Course is built around the Foundational Four Framework — the four competencies every troubleshooter needs, taught in the sequence that actually builds the skill. Not more information. A structured learning path that produces real confidence.
Decode any electrical print. Trace a fault path with clarity. Know where to test before you touch anything.
Measure with precision. Know what you're testing and why. Every reading tells you something — if you know how to ask.
Diagnose 30+ electrical and pneumatic components with a method. Find the failure. Confirm it before you call the fix.
Apply the Fault Finder Formula — repeatable, field-tested, works on any machine, any environment, any fault.
"I want to be the guy who just KNOWS things. Not the guy who has to Google everything. Give me the process. Give me something I can use tomorrow."

The Schematic Decode Process — a clear, repeatable method for reading any electrical print and tracing any fault path. Works on every schematic you'll ever see.
Multimeter and clamp meter precision. What to measure, when, and why — so every test is accurate and every call is sharp. Stop swapping good parts.
Step-by-step diagnostic guides for 30+ electrical components. What normally takes years on the job, built in months.
The same systematic approach applied to 10 pneumatic components. One framework. Both sides of the machine.
The repeatable, field-tested diagnostic process that ties all four pillars together. Rapid isolation techniques, root cause focus. Stop freezing under pressure — start working every problem with calm, clear logic, even when everyone's watching.
If you're not ready to commit, the 30-day guarantee removes the risk. If you're ready to do the work, the 90-day guarantee backs the outcome.
Try the Fault Fixer Troubleshooting Course for 30 days. If it's not working for you — for any reason — you get your money back. No questions. No back-and-forth. No process.
Complete the course. Apply the process on the job. If after 90 days you're still not troubleshooting with more confidence — Jordon works with you one-on-one, one hour per week, for up to 12 weeks. Do the work. Get the result. See terms.

Jordon came out of the Air Force and landed a role in industrial food processing equipment. He was hastily promoted to Technical Services Manager — before he felt ready — and walked straight into the same fire every new tech faces.
Two experienced service managers before him had been let go for the same reason: they couldn't troubleshoot customer control systems under pressure. Jordon was next in line.
What saved him wasn't years of experience. It was a mentor who sat down with a schematic, walked him through it once — and it clicked. Within six months, he was training maintenance teams himself.
What he realized: experienced techs struggle to teach not because they don't know enough — but because they've forgotten what it felt like to know nothing. They skip the steps that are now invisible to them.
So Jordon built the Fault Fixer Troubleshooting Course around the learning journey that actually worked — not his years of experience. The structured path from zero to confident that every new tech deserves but almost nobody gets.
"I'm two months in and already fixed three things on my own that I would've had to call someone else for. The process actually works."
"I chose trades over college. I needed it to work out fast. This gave me an actual roadmap. Before this I was just winging it every shift."
"One of the senior guys actually asked me how I figured something out. That never happened before. The course changed how I approach everything."
Most training teaches what components do — not how to think like a troubleshooter. The Fault Fixer Troubleshooting Course teaches the actual process behind fixing faults in the real world.
Completing a course or passing a test doesn't guarantee mastery. Real expertise comes from applying what you learn in real situations — and that's exactly how this is built.
The course is 100% self-paced and built to fit around shift work. Go as fast or slow as you need. No deadlines, no cohort, no pressure.
You don't need to be smart — just trained in the right process. If you can follow a system, you can do this. That's the whole point of the Foundational Four Framework.
Controls logic is universal. Whether it's packaging, food processing, manufacturing, automation, or distribution — the process applies. The thinking process doesn't change because the machine does.
This isn't theory or lecture — it's field-based training with real faults, real schematics, and practical lessons built to stick. It was designed by someone who was thrown into maintenance without proper training and had to figure out what actually works.
We cover PLCs as part of the bigger troubleshooting picture — but this isn't a deep-dive PLC programming course.
The truth is, you can go a long way in troubleshooting without being a PLC expert. We'll show you how.
Go through the training. Apply the process on the job. If after 90 days you've completed the course and you're still not troubleshooting with more confidence — Jordon will work with you one-on-one, one hour per week, for up to 12 weeks, until it clicks.
To qualify, you need to have completed all course modules and made a genuine attempt to apply the method. Do the work. Get the result. See terms.
Yes. Complete the training and you'll receive a Fault Fixer Certificate of Completion you can share with your employer or add to your LinkedIn profile. Completion is currently self-reported.
Absolutely — and more companies cover this than you'd think. We provide a receipt for every payment you can submit to your employer or HR for reimbursement. Many techs get this fully covered. It never hurts to ask.
