VFD & Motor Control Training

VFD & Motor Control Training for Maintenance Teams

VFD faults can contribute to production stoppages, and effective diagnosis depends on technicians who can trace power through a schematic and check drive parameters rather than relying on fault-code resets alone.

ITC Learning's VFD and variable frequency drive training covers control equipment fundamentals through inverter troubleshooting, delivered as self-paced, SCORM-compliant courses.

Why It Matters

Why VFD and Motor Control Training Matters

A technician who understands fuses, circuit breakers, limit switches, and control circuits — not just VFDs in isolation — can trace a fault back through the whole control system instead of guessing at the drive.

Build VFD Troubleshooting Skills

Courses cover VFD operation, common malfunctions, and troubleshooting techniques for diagnosing a faulty drive.

Cover the Full Control Circuit

Motor control training includes fuses, circuit breakers, limit switches, and systematic control circuit troubleshooting, not VFDs alone.

Support Electrical Safety Awareness

Courses reinforce electrical safety awareness and can complement an organization's broader electrical safety and maintenance program.

Document Training for Records

Every completed course generates a certificate that can be used for internal documentation and training records.

Course List

What This Training Covers

ITC's Electrical Control Equipment library is a five-course program covering control equipment fundamentals through VFD troubleshooting.

The ITC Approach

A Structured Path From Skill Gaps to Documented Results

1

Assess

Use standalone skills assessments before training to identify VFD and motor control knowledge gaps and determine whether a learner may be able to place out of a course.

2

Train

Assign self-paced, SCORM-compliant courses covering control equipment fundamentals through VFD troubleshooting.

3

Track

Monitor course completions, post-test results, skills assessment results, and progress by individual, team, or location.

4

Document

Generate certificates of completion and maintain training records by learner, team, or location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The series includes dedicated courses on the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of VFDs and inverters.

Electricians and technicians in instrumentation and electronics, as well as mechanics being cross-trained on control circuits.

Yes. Many organizations use these courses to build multi-craft capacity, giving mechanics foundational electrical knowledge that supports control-circuit troubleshooting.

The series reinforces relevant electrical safety awareness where covered and can complement an organization's broader electrical safety program. It is not a substitute for site-specific procedures or required safety training.

Yes. All ITC courses are SCORM-compliant and can be delivered through your existing LMS or through ITC's hosted platform.

Each course includes a 20-question post-test to measure comprehension after training. ITC also offers a corresponding standalone skills assessment that can be used before training to establish a technical baseline, identify knowledge gaps, and determine whether a learner may be able to place out of the course.
