AM2 Fault Finding Quick Guide

Fault finding is one of the most challenging parts of the AM2 assessment. Many apprentices lose valuable time because they are unsure where to start or which tests to carry out first. The AM2 Fault Finding Quick Guide has been designed to simplify the process and help you approach fault finding in a clear, logical way.

This guide breaks down the fault finding process into simple steps so you can quickly identify problems within a circuit. Instead of guessing or randomly testing, you’ll learn a structured method that helps you narrow down the fault and locate it efficiently.

Inside this guide you’ll find reminders of the key tests used during fault diagnosis, along with examples of common faults apprentices are expected to identify during the AM2. The guide focuses on the faults that typically appear on training rigs and assessment boards, helping you understand what to look for and how to confirm the issue.

This resource is ideal for apprentices who want to build confidence when diagnosing faults and improve their overall testing approach. Whether you are revising before your assessment or practising fault finding techniques, this guide provides a quick reference to keep you on track.

Perfect for quick revision, printing, or saving on your phone while preparing for your AM2.
