Appliance Repair School, a division of PSA (Professional Service Association) works with many of the existing vocational schools to improve access to support from manufacturers to provide product for classroom instruction. Appliance Repair School also creates in cooperation with the National Coalition of Electronics Education, (NCEE) the annual industry skill standards including competencies for appliance technology that allows the instructor to compare his curriculum with what the industry needs in trained technicians. To insure that students are learning what is required by the competency exams, Appliance Repair School provides schools with a graduate student exam (Gcap) based on the latest competencies.
