Maintenance Management

  • 1.  Maintenance Management

    Posted 04-01-2026 14:13

    Hoping to connect with someone that is either working on the Maintenance Management module right now or has already completed it. I have a question on the study guide and the way it is lining up (or not) with the chapters is driving me nuts. Would love to pick some other brains on this topic.

    Hi Mikhaila,

    I'm trying to work my way through the e-learning portion of that module myself.  What is the area that is giving you issues?

    Working through this module as well. Just from my perspective its seems like the sample questions in the e-learning module do not line up with what the material you need to know to pass is.

    @Joe Hoiberg, I generally study best through reading and I like the study guides. Except this one doesn't seem to match up to the reading and it really is bugging me. Is it just me? In the end, if I can answer all the questions I suppose it doesn't matter but it throws me off my game.

    Hello Mikhaila,

    I went through the module last year. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know. Like Joe, I went through the E-Learning, and I found it easier to retain the information than just the guide.  Michael.Naglieri@DavidsonCountync.gov

    @Michael Naglieri I suppose I will need to try the e-learning module. I just usually study better through reading and answering all the questions.

    Would be interested in hearing about your experience. I am finding the study guide is just throwing me off my game because it doen't match the chapter readings.

    Hey Makhaila,

    I had this same problem when I went through the program five years ago. Unfortunately, this wasn't specific to the Maintenance module but was consistent with all eight of them. Not only did some of the information not line up but there was contradicting information in the study guides and an abundance of spelling and grammatical errors. Very frustrating. I started writing down some of the errors that I noticed and sent them in to NAFA in an effort to make things cleaner for the next folks, but it doesn't sound like improvements were made. That being said, I read through all of the study materials for each module twice at a minimum before testing. Some of the more difficult modules, I read through three or four times to make sure I didn't fail any tests. I also completed the study guides that go with them. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions.
