GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Standard Curriculum

The Appliance Servicing program guide presents the standard appliance servicing curriculumfor technical institutes in Georgia. This curriculum addresses the minimum competenciesfor the Appliance Servicing program. The competency areas included in a local ApplianceServicing program may exceed what is contained in this program guide, but it mustencompass the minimum competencies contained herein.

As changes occur in the Appliance Servicing program, this guide will be revised to reflectthose changes. Proposed changes are first evaluated and approved by the local programadvisory committee and then forwarded to the State Technical Committee for approval andinclusion in the state standard program guide.

This program guide is designed to relate primarily to the development of those skills neededto become an appliance service technician.



GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Developmental Process

The development of the Appliance Servicing program guide was based on the premise thatthe people in the industry can best determine program needs. With this in mind,representatives from businesses which would employ program graduates were asked to serveon a State Technical Committee to help identify the occupational content and to provideoverall guidance to ensure that the resulting program would produce graduates qualified forentry-level occupational positions in the industry.

The State Technical Committee verifi ed an occupational task list that had been compiledthrough extensive research. These representatives included workers who had actuallyperformed the duties and tasks being verified.

Technical institutes which would implement the curriculum were also included in thedevelopmental effort. Representatives from the technical institutes provided the expertisein teaching methodology unique to each discipline and developed the courses contained inthis program guide.

The University of Georgia coordinated and directed the development of the curriculum andproduced the final program guide. The role of each group in the developmental process isshown in the following diagram.
