Programme Brief

Servicing and Repairing Washers and Dryers – A Practical Approach is designed to provide participants with in-depth,
practical knowledge and hands-on skills for the servicing and repair of domestic washing machines and electric
dryers.

The course emphasizes a systematic and diagnostic approach to fault identification, troubleshooting,
and repairs using current industry standards and safety practices.
