Morocco Equipment Technician study guide
Morocco Equipment Technician · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Morocco Equipment Technician credential is a professional certification for technicians who install, commission, maintain and troubleshoot industrial equipment - pumps, motors, compressors, conveyors, hydraulic and pneumatic assemblies, and the instrumentation and control loops attached to them. It suits practising maintenance technicians, installation and commissioning staff, and technically trained candidates moving from a general mechanical or electrical role into multi-skilled equipment work. The Morocco Equipment Technician study guide has 11 sections and about 3,351 words.
01Electrical Fundamentals and Power Systems
This domain checks safe low-voltage electrical reasoning for equipment technicians working on Moroccan industrial and building systems: 230/400 V 50 Hz supplies, three-phase motors, protective devices, earthing, and power quality. Questions often ask you to select a device, interpret a measurement, or explain why a protection operates.
347 words, about 2 min02Mechanical Systems
This domain covers power transmission, support, and fastening: belts, chains, gears, couplings, bearings, shafts, lubrication, torque, and vibration. The exam expects you to calculate ratios and speeds, recognise wear modes, and choose safe corrective actions rather than simply replacing parts.
327 words, about 2 min03Hydraulics and Pneumatics
This domain tests pressure, flow, force, speed, valves, filtration, air treatment, and stored-energy safety in hydraulic and pneumatic equipment. Expect calculations on cylinders and practical questions on contamination, leakage, and safe depressurisation.
323 words, about 2 min04Equipment Installation
Installation questions cover site survey, foundations, baseplates, anchoring, grouting, leveling, clearance, lifting, cable routing, and handover. The exam rewards sequencing: a machine that is aligned before grouting or piped before soft-foot correction will often be misaligned again.
309 words, about 2 min05Commissioning and Alignment
Commissioning tests preparation, safety checks, rotation, alignment, run-in, load testing, and documentation. Alignment questions use dial indicators or laser systems and expect you to correct angular and parallel misalignment without introducing soft foot.
275 words, about 1 min06Preventive and Corrective Maintenance Procedures
This domain covers planned maintenance, condition monitoring, work orders, spares, corrective action, and maintenance metrics. The exam tests whether you can distinguish preventive, predictive, and reactive work and justify the interval with evidence.
275 words, about 1 min07Diagnostics, Troubleshooting and Fault Analysis
Diagnostics questions test a logical fault-finding sequence: gather symptoms, verify the fault, isolate the system, test from supply to load, and confirm the root cause. The exam favours evidence over guesswork and safe measurement over repeated breaker resets.
278 words, about 1 min08Instrumentation, Sensors and Control Systems
This domain covers sensors, transmitters, loops, PLC I/O, calibration, shielding, and fail-safe behaviour. Expect signal scaling, loop checks, and questions on why a reading is wrong even when the sensor appears powered.
321 words, about 2 min09Workplace Safety, Lockout/Tagout and Risk Assessment
This domain tests risk assessment, isolation, lockout/tagout, permits, PPE, and safe work practices. In Morocco, employers commonly apply Code du Travail 65-99 and Decree 2-04-640 on general safety and health; verify the current text and site rules.
309 words, about 2 min10Technical Documentation, Standards and Regulatory Compliance
This domain covers drawings, schematics, P&IDs, datasheets, manuals, work reports, version control, and the standards behind the work. Moroccan practice uses NM standards, commonly applied IEC and NF references such as NF C 15-100 for LV installations and IEC 60204-1 for electrical equipment of machines; confirm the edition required by the site and contract.
308 words, about 2 min11Professional Practice, Reporting and Customer Communication
This domain tests conduct, clear reporting, customer handover, and escalation. A technician must communicate technical findings without blame, jargon, or unsupported promises, often in French or Arabic with Moroccan customers and in English with international suppliers.
