About

Built by the trade, for the trade

SkillsMentor is browser-based troubleshooting training for skilled-trades technicians — equipment that behaves like the real thing, with an AI mentor that reasons through the fault with you.

Free to start, and it stays free. Best on a PC or laptop.

Who makes it

Orion Technical Solutions LLC — an industrial instrumentation, electrical and controls training company. We build the simulators, the physics engine and the mentor in-house.

What SkillsMentor is

Not a video course. You run real equipment in the browser — a meter in your hand, faults that behave the way they do in the field — and an AI Skills Mentor coaches you through the diagnosis instead of handing over the answer.

Why we built it

Troubleshooting is learned at the bench, not from slides — and a good bench, with the right faults and someone who knows the craft standing beside you, is hard to come by. SkillsMentor puts that bench in the browser.

Real physics so the equipment behaves honestly, intermittents and all, and a mentor grounded in a competency matrix of expert-audited objectives — the actual skills a technician gets signed off on, not generic content.

Where it's at

Electrical System 1 and a free instrumentation loop simulator are live now, with more systems and the full craft programs in build. The free tier never expires — register and you will be first to know as each one opens.
