Course Overview

The Rockwell Automation Mechanical Print Reading (FND-015) course is a foundational instructor-led program designed to equip mechanical maintenance technicians with the essential skills to interpret and understand mechanical drawings and prints. While no specific certification exam is tied directly to FND-015, this course serves as a critical prerequisite for advanced Rockwell Automation training paths in industrial maintenance and automation. It is specifically tailored for roles such as maintenance mechanics, plant engineers, and technical support personnel who must accurately read and apply information from mechanical schematics in manufacturing and process environments. With over 90% of industrial employers requiring print reading proficiency for craft positions, mastering these skills ensures workforce readiness and alignment with industry standards.

Participants engage with core elements of mechanical documentation using real-world facility-provided prints, including orthographic, isometric, detail, working drawings, and P&IDs. The hands-on lab component emphasizes practical application, where students learn to identify line types, interpret title blocks, measure screw threads, locate tolerances, and define dimensions on machined surfaces. Using actual plant drawings throughout the three-day agenda, learners complete exercises that simulate real maintenance scenarios—such as tracing system components on P&IDs and reconstructing schematic views of mechanical systems—within an interactive classroom environment led by certified instructors. These labs reinforce competencies in dimensioning, surface identification, revision control, and drawing retrieval systems used in industrial settings.

By completing the Rockwell Automation Mechanical Print Reading (FND-015) course, participants build a strong foundation for career advancement in industrial maintenance, where skilled technicians earn median salaries exceeding $60,000 annually with opportunities for higher earnings in automation-intensive sectors. As part of Koenig Solutions’ official training delivery partnership, this course offers Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, 1-on-1 instructor access, and use of authorized Rockwell Automation courseware to ensure mastery. Graduates are well-prepared to progress into advanced troubleshooting, safety, and automation programs, positioning them for long-term success in modern manufacturing and process control environments.
