Basic Electricity
(80 hours)


Build a solid foundation with our Basic Electricity training course. Explore fundamental principles, essential concepts, and practical applications for a successful start in the utility industry. Instructor-led on-site or web-based course designed to teach the basics of electric circuits and how they relate to electric power systems as well as everyday use of electricity. From atomic theory and Ohm's Law to three-phase and reactive power, you'll explore how electricity works and how each subject relates to the electric power industry. Multiple exams will measure your understanding of subjects and identify areas needed for review. A final test is administered for a Certificate of Course Completion.  

This class benefits:
job-seekers looking to complete the requirements and gain the knowledge needed to apply and compete for apprenticeships and other jobs in the business requiring the passing of a standardized test;
anyone in the electric power industry seeking a basic or deeper understanding of electricity and how it relates to the electric power business.

The amount of times I have tried to find a decent photo of a blank sketch book is too many. So I decided to create a few, starting with this one.
