Basic Electricity for the Non-Electrician 
provides students a practical, real world education in basic electricity. Specific needs and concerns of each student will be addressed so that upon completion they'll be able to reduce equipment downtime, improve overall efficiency and safety, and fix problems they've never been able to fix before. Solutions learned in this class will more than pay for the cost of training, a dozen, hundred or thousand times over.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for maintenance personnel or anyone who needs to understand basic industrial electricity at their plant, building or facility.
