OSU Institute of Technology offers the leading industrial and farm equipment degree program sponsored by the North American Equipment Dealers Association. The purpose of the program is to upgrade the technical competency and professional level of incoming industrial and farm equipment service technicians. Those selected for the two-year North American Equipment Dealers Association Technician Training program at OSUIT will spend half their time on campus for technical instruction on current products and equipment learning the latest diagnostic and service procedures. The rest of the time will be spent getting real-world on-the-job training at NAEDA-member dealerships.

Designed to recognize the high-performing technicians in dealerships or used for evaluating prospective technicians during the hiring process, dealers have found this test to be both an efficient and cost-effective tool for evaluating current and potential employees.

The test is divided into nine sections with 10 questions in each segment: General Shop Knowledge, Tools and Safety; Engine Basics; Engine Troubleshooting/Tune-Up; Power Trains/Drivelines; Electrical Principles; Electrical Circuits and Schematics; Hydraulics; Diesel Engines; and, Air Conditioning Systems. With many dealers hiring technicians from overseas, hard copies of the test are also available in French, German, Spanish, and Ukrainian.
