NAA CAMT study plan

Diagram the path of potable water from meter/main to fixture, labeling shutoff valves, and explain what each valve isolates

Trace a drain from fixture trap to stack to building drain, identifying venting requirements and trap-seal failure symptoms

List the five most common plumbing work-order complaint types and match each to a triage priority level

Write the resident-facing service script for a water-intrusion emergency, including escalation and documentation steps

Diagnose leaking and running fixtures by separating supply-side from drain-side causes and stating the correct repair sequence

Explain water-heater operation, temperature/pressure relief valve function, and anode-rod maintenance intervals

Convert a verbal resident complaint into a complete work order with location, access instructions, parts list, and safety notes

Sequence a multi-trade repair (shutoff, drain-down, repair, restore, verify) and identify where resident notification occurs at each step

Map a residential branch circuit from panel breaker through conductors to receptacles and fixtures, identifying hot, neutral, and ground roles

Explain overcurrent protection, GFCI/AFCI placement rules, and grounding/bonding purpose in your own words

Demonstrate safe lockout/tagout and voltage-verification procedure before any electrical work order is opened

Classify electrical work orders by hazard level and state which require a licensed electrician versus in-house response

Troubleshoot a non-heating or non-drying appliance using a symptom-to-component decision path

Distinguish appliance failures caused by the appliance from those caused by the circuit or the venting

Identify interior finish and exterior envelope defects (caulk, flashing, roofing, siding, windows) that let water in

Write a scope of repair for an exterior water-intrusion find, listing materials, sequencing, and resident impact

Diagram the refrigeration cycle and label the state of refrigerant at each of the four major components

Explain the function of compressor, condenser, metering device, evaporator, blower, and filters in airflow and heat transfer

Compute and interpret temperature split and superheat/subcooling basics as diagnostic indicators

Match thermostat, capacitor, contactor, and blower-motor symptoms to their probable causes

Apply combustion-safety fundamentals: draft, venting, carbon-monoxide sources, and when to red-tag equipment

Describe safe refrigerant handling practices, recovery requirements, and leak-check procedure steps

Perform a documented HVAC preventive-maintenance sequence (filter, coils, condensate, belts, electrical connections)

Rank emergency HVAC/safety scenarios (no heat in winter, gas odor, CO alarm, refrigerant leak) by immediate action order

Diagnose common interior repair complaints (drywall, doors/locks, flooring, tile, paint) and specify the correct repair method

Explain exterior maintenance cycles: roofing, gutters, drainage grading, sealants, and pavement

Build a preventive-maintenance calendar tying interior, exterior, plumbing, and HVAC tasks to seasonal triggers

Audit a sample work-order queue for missing information and rewrite three weak work orders into complete ones

Answer timed practice questions across all five domains and record accuracy by domain

Re-teach the two lowest-scoring domains from memory using your own diagrams and checklists

Rehearse integrated scenarios that cross domains (e.g., water leak causing electrical and mold issues) and state the correct sequence of action

Finalize a personal one-page quick-reference sheet of codes, formulas, and safety rules
