| Electricity - Beyond The Basics |
This exciting, hands-on workshop is the answer for all of you who have attended an introductory electricity class or have some basic electrical knowledge. This application-based lab lets you practice your skills and build the confidence to function productively and safely in typical industrial plant electrical situations. Now is your opportunity to get first-hand knowledge and practice for yourself.
You will learn key information and have a “hands-on” opportunity to work with control wiring - skills that when practiced back at the workplace, add value to your organization and improve your professional skills. This intensive 2-day course covers a variety of material, from basic electricity review to introduction to NEC material – focused entirely on the industrial environment. Attendees respond that they learned more in two days than in a semester at a junior college. What you learn must be practiced.
