Snap-on Torque Certification at Gateway Technical College

Snap-on Incorporated, in partnership with Gateway, has created a national torque certification program designed to meet the needs of the wind technicians, automotive mechanics and industrial machine repair technicians. The training covers torque fundamentals, electrical torque, and larger hydraulic equipment and prepares participants to take a national assessment and gain Snap-on Torque Certification.

This program in torque technology will provide the student with hands-on learning to torque techniques, bolting applications, and tool set-up and selection concepts within today’s wind industry. Torque is the turning motion used to tighten or secure a fastener to achieve proper clamping force.

Intro to Torque Technology

This course introduces the student to torque technology. Topics include: introduction to torque equipment, torque theory, tool safety and basic bolting practices.
