Back to Electrical training
Course Aims
This is an advanced version of our Basic Electric Course and includes all of the necessary skills and training to allow on-the-job learning to commence. This course is also ideal for those who already undertake electrical repairs and maintenance but have no formal training.
Upon completion, delegates will possess the necessary general knowledge to undertake basic fault-finding and component repair, associated with first-level breakdowns and maintenance but is not a replacement for formal core training to become a recognised technician. It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure that site based experience is gained and to determine competence.
