SkillPaks and Course Guide
Immediately after you enroll in the Foley-Belsaw Institute’s Outdoor Power Equipment Engine Repair & Service Career Program, you will receive your first SkillPak. Each SkillPak contains all the course material you need to successfully complete each lesson.
Your SkillPaks are written by industry experts and professional Outdoor Power Equipment engine technicians who understand the business, and what it takes to be successful.
SkillPaks will arrive as needed, each containing easy-to-understand, step-by-step lessons. At the end of each lesson, you will find an exam or homework assignment. Detailed instructions mean that each lesson assignment is easy to follow and complete. Exams contain 10 questions and you can always double check the lesson material prior to answering an exam question. This means you always have the opportunity to review as you go.
After you have completed the final lesson in each SkillPak, you will send in the exam answer sheets and/or lesson cards to your instructor. Your instructor will check your work and issue a grade. Once we have received your completed SkillPak, we will send you the next. In this way, you are always progressing toward success.
