After recruitment, the TCDP process begins with a skills assessment to identify skill gaps. From this, an
Individual Learning Plan (ILP) can be defined to address areas for improvement, through blended learning
solutions, which can be the combination of Web based training (WBT), Instructor Led Training (ILT), and On
the Job Training (OJT). Upon completion of the ILP, this process concludes with the final assessment and
technical certification of the acquired competencies.
The ILT courses in this catalogue are delivered by Caterpillar and can be assigned to the ILP of a
Technician according to the job position and required competencies. They predominantly refer to Advanced
and Expert level competencies. The Foundational level ILT is expected to be implemented by the dealer with
the learning material provided by Caterpillar.
Further details related to the TCDP are provided in the section “Learning as a Process” at the back this
catalogue on page 75.
We recently developed in 2014 Machine Technician curricula. On the next page it is displayed as a pyramid
graphic format related to Foundational, Advanced and Expert level training. In the “Machine Technician
Pyramid” each topic refers to a cluster of training that can include ILT, WBT and OJT. A proportion of the
pyramid relates to core requirements applicable to all technicians and product specific learning to be
assigned by the dealer as required. T
he curriculum is published in the DPC for EAME dealer use. Therefore, the details of the Advanced and
Expert curriculums (i.e. course references and descriptions) can be found in the DPC (under Service
Curricula in the Service Performance Campus).
RTC’s are managed entirely by Caterpillar, whereas RDLC’s are partnerships with Caterpillar dealers, who
make their Service Training Excellence accredited facilities available for hosting Caterpillar courses open to
all Caterpillar dealers.
Below is graphical territorial representation of our training center locations with some high level details.

b) Machine Training
The Technician’s specialization courses are designed to further develop your Technicians in their respective
areas of specialty. These courses predominantly cater for Advanced and Expert competency levels.
On special request and depending upon our Instructor language capability, these courses can be provided in
language and on location. Please note however that all materials will be provided in English.
The above-mentioned training forms part of our scheduled course offerings. We can also provide additional
training support to your dealership in case you have any special course requests for your dealer and
customer technicians. These special requests can be hosted at alternative locations depending on where
the required equipment is located and your convenience. For example, potential locations could be, Málaga
RTC, Dubai RDLC, St. Petersburg RTC, Johannesburg RDLC, Casablanca RDLC, Dealer site or Customer
site.
All special requests inquiries should be sent to the relevant Caterpillar Instructor and the Letter of
Understanding (LOU) form needs to be completed with the collaboration of the Caterpillar Instructor.
This form serves to confirm exact dates and applicable conditions for the course delivery. In last section of
this catalog, under Useful Information, is a copy of the LOU form.
Though our first priority is to train dealer Technicians, we understand that some customers prefer to service
their own equipment themselves, and we offer our support to dealers to train customer Technicians, where
needed.
We would like to clarify our customer training policies:
Our scheduled courses are exclusively reserved for Caterpillar or Dealer personnel. Therefore, we
do not accept Customer enrollments in our courses published in DPC.
We can support customer training on dealer special request, to one customer or to a group of
customers. This training can be provided either at Malaga, or locally, provided that the adequate
conditions, equipment and tooling is available. The request submission is the same as the special
request submission.
We request that at least one dealer representative participates in the course. The reason is that we
don’t want any risk of misunderstanding with the customer that could engage dealer responsibilities.
e) Technician Certifications
Caterpillar provides Technician certifications to validate that the Technician has acquired the relevant
knowledge and skills. Our Certification programs are not training events. In these programs the Technician is
required to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Currently, Caterpillar provides Advanced Mining
Certification programs.

competency based adult learning programs.
It provides a complete support of instructor development, from enrollment up to ensure correct
application of skills and knowledge. There are 3 distinct phases:
Phase 1: Preparation
The preparation starts with an interview of the incumbent by our CIAP coordinator. The objective of
this interview is to ensure the candidate has the adequate profile to successfully go through the whole
program. Once confirmed, incumbent must complete an e-learning module. The objective is that
incumbent completes knowledge checks and actions plan. These action plans are then shared with
the candidate’s supervisor and is used to coach the candidate when preparing pre-work to attend the
program.
Phase 2: CIAP Class
Participants then attend a five day classroom workshop in which each participant will be assessed and
receive individualized mentoring focused on the completion of a comprehensive project.
Phase 3: Accreditation
This project and the processes learned in the workshop will be used to complete the third phase of
CIAP and create the opportunity for instructor accreditation. In phase three participants are then
required to demonstrate skill use on the job in a live classroom and be assessed two more times
during the following year. This is accomplished either by submission of a videotape of a session and
supporting documents.

This section provides learners and managers useful information and instructions for using the DPC.
In order to get access, you need an active Caterpillar Corporate Web Security Identification (CWS
ID), and to be registered to a DPC campus.
Please contact your Dealer DPC Administrator (See section below how to identify your DPC dealer
administrator) in order to get access to the DPC.
Curriculum: Blended learning to follow in sequence for completing a complete training program.
Class: Mostly related to ILT or IDL, is a session related to a course, at a defined date and delivered at a
specific location.
Location: Related to ILT, the location describes the place where the course will be delivered. EAME
Service Training is using the location field to also identify the classes that we propose, by systematically
starting this field with “MDLC”. Then we specify the actual location (Malaga, or remote location).
Example:
”MDLC_Malaga Demonstration and Learning Center”: Classes proposed by EAME Service Training, at
Malaga,
”MDLC_Dealer Host: Casablanca”: Classes proposed by EAME Service Training, at our dealership
training center at Casablanca.
When an employee submits an enrollment request, his “manager” will receive a system email
notification, with an appropriate link for the validation. Caterpillar will not receive the course enrolment
until after this validation. Therefore, it is important that your DPC Administrator assigns a “manager” in
the DPC profile each of your learner that potentially wants to enroll into Instructor-led training. This
manager can be his direct supervisor, a training coordinator, or any other person whom your dealership
wants to be in charge of validating ILT Enrollments, for example the Dealer DPC Administrator.
Caterpillar will send a formal final confirmation to the participants 1 month ahead of time, confirming that
the class will take place.
Several training centers can offer the ILT courses included in a curriculum. The location describes the
place where the classes will take place, and the ones offered by Malaga always start with “MDLC”.

In the curriculum pyramids shown the Foundational curriculum is the same for all segments. The
Foundational training referred to in the curricula is Instructor Led Training (ILT) based on Caterpillar
Apprenticeship Service Technician Training (CASTT), which was made available to EAME Caterpillar
dealers since 2011 to replace the SERV3100. The CASTT Program is a complete component/systems
ILT course for training service technicians. The program is comprised of 49 modules covering various
systems, from basics to advance for service, diagnostics, and repair functions. The course design
instructs three primary areas: Foundational Knowledge, Skills Practice, and Skills Assessment. Each
module contains a Facilitator Guide, Student Guide, Activity Workbook, PowerPoint Presentation, and
knowledge and practical assessments.
The CASTT Materials are available for ordering only to training managers or training instructors. There
is no applicable charge to receive this.
To order, it is required access the DPC into the Service Campus and follow the steps below:
In addition to the above material, Caterpillar has developed e-learning courses and linked assessments
that relates to the Seven Fundamental Systems curricula. These can be accessed in the DPC in the
Service Campus.
Here below are listed the seven curricula as they are published in the DPC:
1. Service Campus – Fundamentals – Air Conditioning
2. Service Campus – Fundamentals – Brakes
3. Service Campus – Fundamentals – Electrical
4. Service Campus – Fundamentals – Engine Performance
5. Service Campus – Fundamentals – Engine Repair
6. Service Campus – Fundamentals – Hydraulics
7. Service Campus – Fundamentals – Powertrain
In the Search field within “Available Curricula” under My Learning Dashboard, by including the text
“Fundamentals” will generate the above list.
If you then also include the text, “Certification” then all the associated on-line assessments can be
accessed under the published title, “Service Campus – Skill Gap Analysis/System Certification”.
Service Training Excellence accreditation is up for renewal in 18 months after the first accreditation, and
24 months after the first re-accreditation. Then after the second re-accreditation it is every 3 years.
For more details about Service Training Excellence Accreditation, please contact with our Learning
Consultant.

The LCAT consistently evaluates training centers, whether they are operating at a Caterpillar facility or
at a Caterpillar dealership. The development of the Evaluation Methodology, Assessment Criteria,
Operational Definitions, and Assessment Guidelines are a collaborative effort from Caterpillar Inc.,
Marketing Organizations, and Caterpillar Dealers worldwide. The four primary training categories that
are assessed in the LCAT are:
Materials
Staff
Operations
Administration
The program provides a complete support of Instructor development, from enrollment up to ensure
correct application of skills and knowledge. The details of the CIAP program can be found in the
relevant course description of this course catalogue or in the DPC.
The instructor accreditation is valid for up to 3 years. Past this period, the Instructor will seek a re-
accreditation through submission of evidence of continued skill use.
To reach the first Service Training Excellence Accreditation, more than 50% of the instructors with more
than 2 years on the job, must be accredited through the CIAP program. For successive Service
Training Excellence Re-accreditations, all instructors should be accredited through the CIAP program.
