Small Engine Repair Certification
 All Those Other (Smaller) Engines
Small engines are everywhere. They're in motorcycles, lawn mowers, chain saws, weed eaters, outboard watercraft, and toys. And as with their larger counterparts, small engines have a tendency to break down. When they do, a trusted mechanic can be invaluable. By earning your Small Engine Repair Certification, you'll have the credential that people look for when they're choosing a mechanic to repair their smaller motorized equipment. Your certification might also open up doors to new jobs and promotions.
What Certification Entails
A number of schools and agencies offer a Small Engine Repair Certification. Some of these give the certification upon completion of a course. Others may only require the satisfactory completion of an exam and demonstrated work experience. In order to receive your Small Engine Repair Certification, you will have to demonstrate that you can properly diagnose and repair a variety of small engines.
Key Topics for Learning
A Small Engine Certification requires the mastery of the internal combustion engine. You must be well acquainted with various devices' internal moving parts, fuel systems, exhaust and lubrication systems, cooling systems, ignition and charging systems, and starter and transmission systems. You will also likely be required to demonstrate detailed knowledge of three types of small engine devices: lawn mowers, chainsaws (and other small diesel engines), and outboard motors. Once you have mastered these topics and are familiar with methods of repair and common things that go wrong with small engines, you'll be ready for your certification exam and the new opportunities that may come your way once you have your certification in hand. |
