About this Program

Most technologists don’t get training in equipment management when they are moved into a leadership role. In this course, you will learn the five building blocks of equipment management. You will gain an overview of capital equipment planning from obtaining bids to equipment maintenance. The information you learn will give you a foundation on how to manage the equipment you have, whether you are in the purchasing phase or trying to keep your equipment maintained.
