Online appliance repair courses
According to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, the 2011 outlook for home appliance repairers, also known as appliance repair technicians, projects a steady source of excellent job opportunities. Appliance repair techs install and service home appliances such as refrigerators, clothes washers and dryers, dishwashers, water heaters, stoves, ranges and ice makers. In addition to basic mechanical understanding of drives, belts, fans, motors, switches and gears, techs now require training in electronic diagnostics. Online courses in appliance repair offer a great opportunity to train yourself and start your own business in this field.
