About Mechanical to Electrical Part 3
The Mechanical to Electrical – Part 3 programme builds confidence in fault finding and fixing within a wide range of electrical systems. Technicians will build on their electrical knowledge gained in previous modules so they can understand how to read drawings, successfully find faults and how to test and connect control devices.
The Mechanical to Electrical Programme is also available as an on-site, cost-effective alternative to our regular public training courses held at our training centre in Reading.
