This course is designed for delegates who have little or no knowledge of electrical principles.

On successful completion of the course delegates will be able to:

• Explain basic electron theory
• Demonstrate an understanding of ohms law
• Identify the difference between series and parallel circuits
• Understand the principles of magnetism
• Carry out basic electrical tests
• Understand the principles of AC generators/AC power
• Explain inductance and capacitance
• Test transformers/transformer rectifiers and understand their principles

50% theory using PowerPoint, active discussion, diagrams and visual aids

50% practical with demonstrations on a variety of electrical and electronic equipment and hands-on practice with test meters.

A theory assessment will be carried out to check delegates' understanding.

Ideally the candidate will have a good knowledge of the English language and some electrical experience would be an advantage
