Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Electrical Training
Introduction
The Foundation Electrics course is designed to take you from absolute basics to an understanding of electricity and its applications. Health and safety issues are intrinsic and the course will include a section on safe isolation.
Assuming no prior knowledge although some practical aptitude is essential, this course is suitable for refrigeration and air conditioning engineers, or inexperienced / apprentice electrical engineers.
Objective
To achieve a basic understanding of electricity and its applications.
Methodology
The topics will be covered with emphasis on practical work from the delegate using actual working systems where applicable. Theoretical work will be assisted by visual aids and discussion session and all delegates will receive a comprehensive set of course notes for reference material.
The course book includes theory questions to test interim knowledge and then a final assessment will be held at the end of the course consisting of a written theory paper and a practical test.
Synopsis
This 5 day, level 2 course will include the following topics:
• Health and safety
