Please call 1.866.706.8665 to schedule a demonstration or to begin an assessment program today.

Test Name:	Job: Press Brake Operator - UPDATED
Number of Questions:	122
Test Description:	The assessment for press brake operators tests for a knowledge of the basic components of the press brake, the mechanical properties of metals, part inspection and quality assurance, and basic print reading. This assessment also addresses OSHA safety topics, as well as lean initiatives. Test questions are based on class material from the CNC, hydraulics/pneumatics, inspection, materials, mechanical systems, press brake, quality, safety, and shop mathematics/print reading departments.
Test Instructions:	This online test requires uninterrupted access to a computer with an Internet connection. For math-related questions, please have paper and pencils on hand for your calculations. Textbooks, calculators, and other electronic devices are NOT allowed.

This assessment covers all these classes:
