Course Description
This is a hybrid classroom / lab experience with live hands-on equipment.
This is a familiarization class designed to put students right smack in front of all different types of electrical equipment – allowing them to become familiar with their operation and testing procedures. This class will get students familiar with finding resources to read and understanding basic electrical schematics. From there, we will dig into getting students familiar with trusting and relying on their meters. This buildup involves testing things like solenoids, fuses, relays etc.
This is a 24-hour course spanning over three days, with 8-hours per day.
This class is taught in English
Limited to 10 students
