About the Appliance Technician Diploma
Description

Trained appliance service technicians are in demand.
This program features exploratory courses that count toward a credential. Contact an MATC advisor for information.
Additional program details: Appliance technicians install, service and repair automatic washers, dryers, ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers, compactors and other major appliances.
