Air Brake Course

What will I learn?
You will learn how air brake systems work from the ground up, starting with compressed air principles and moving through every major component, including compressors, governors, air dryers, brake chambers, and spring brakes. You will understand how service brakes, parking brakes, and emergency brakes function independently and together. The course covers trailer brake systems, glad hand coupling, tractor protection valves, and brake balance in combination vehicles. You will also get into ABS, electronic stability control, and modern electronic braking technologies. Inspection procedures, leakage tests, and out-of-service criteria are covered in full detail. By the end, you will have the practical knowledge to inspect, diagnose, and maintain air brake systems on commercial vehicles.
