The course is divided into four modules:
- Basic Electrical Knowledge and Understanding (Compulsory):
- Covers electrical legislation, standards, basic circuit design, and safety.
- How Systems Work:
- Focuses on understanding appliance control systems, wiring diagrams, and operational sequences.
- Health, Safety, and Safe Isolation (Compulsory):
- Teaches safe working practices, regulatory requirements, and safe isolation procedures.
- Fault Finding, Control, and Component Exchange:
- Covers fault diagnostics, repair, and replacement of components in various systems.
- Duration: Completing all four modules takes three days. Modules 1 and 3 are prerequisites for Modules 2 and 4.
- Format: Classroom-based training.
