Working with electricity requires more than just technical knowledge – it also demands a strong focus on safety. In this course, you will learn to work in accordance with current laws, standards, and regulations to protect yourself, pets, and property. You will gain hands-on experience in measuring and handling electrical quantities safely, while developing technical terminology and learning to identify risks in various electrical systems.
Beyond safety, the course provides a broad understanding of how power grids and electrical circuits function – from direct current to three-phase systems with various types of loads. You will work practically with measurements, calculations, and components, and learn about electrical machines, electric and magnetic fields, and how these affect the electrical system.
The course will start on the condition that the necessary decisions are made. We reserve the right to update the information continuously.
