Skills Assessment

A valid maintenance skills assessment test is a critical part of an effective maintenance skills training program and can tell you exactly where your employees are at and allow you to target skill deficiencies in training.

MST skills assessments are effective for the following reasons:

Focused on Job-Specific Skills

MST skills assessments align specifically to the skills defined in our Job Task Analysis, and we test to the skills that were identified as being critical to your operation.

Objective

MST’s assessments are designed to be objective and adaptable – including translated versions to ensure clarity and fairness across the workforce. This approach removes subjectivity and provides consistent, reliable results for every participant.

Reliable

Our skills assessments present technicians with industrial maintenance troubleshooting scenarios and application-based questions that mirror the tasks they’ll face on the job. This ensures results reflect not just what they know, but how effectively they can apply that knowledge in real plant environments.

Comprehensive

MST’s skills assessments are developed to be fully objective. Both the knowledge-based and application-focused portions follow a standardized process that removes subjectivity and ensures consistent, reliable results for hiring, promotion, and training decisions.

By identifying exactly where gaps exist, MST’s maintenance skills assessments provide the foundation for building targeted training programs—delivering consistent, measurable results that improve workforce performance and are tailored to your industrial operation’s needs.
