Industrial electrical maintenance course – Course Description:<\/h2>\n
This industrial electrical maintenance course is designed to enable candidates who have a small amount of electrical knowledge to gain recognised qualifications and skills to enable them to enter an industrial environment and work as a industrial electrician. The industrial electrical maintenance course will include a large amount of practical, enabling the candidate to install, fault find, design and wiring up control panels, using a variety of different methods.<\/p>\n
Industrial electrical maintenance course Aims<\/strong><\/p>\n
The aim of the industrial electrical maintenance course is to provide solid foundations upon which the participant will be able to build and develop. Emphasis is given to providing the necessary skills, which will allow the participant to carry out routine electrical tasks. It is also made clear that a participant needs to identify and know their own limitations, allowing tasks to be carried out in a safe manner, not giving rise to danger thus preventing electric shock.<\/p>\n
We have a large amount of industrial electrical equipment which allows real world experience as such you will be fully competent in the likes of panel wiring for example.<\/p>\n
