Basic Electricity

Electricity is an important source of energy that affects many aspects of your life. Without electricity, many devices that have transformed daily life over the course of this century would not be possible. This class will provide you with hands-on training in household electrical repairs.

The basic electrical class introduces fundamental principles of electricity. It begins with an introduction to the structure of matter and basic atomic theory. These are important basics. They will help you understand electron flow and electrical charges. This class also covers some basic sources of electricity (alternating and direct current) and electrical quantities - voltage, current, resistance, and power. It covers Ohm's law and some basic applications of it.

You will troubleshoot a variety of electrical circuits. The material in this class provides the basic information about electricity, schematics and symbols that you need to do basic electrical projects such as replacing switches, outlets, breakers and fuses. You will also learn to install ceiling fans and light fixtures in your home.

Introduction to Electricity

This course begins with an explanation of what electricity is, how it is generated, and how it behaves. Voltage, current, resistance and power are explained. Ohm’s Law is used to explain their relationship in an electric circuit.

Introduction to Hydraulics

This 4-day program includes intermediate to advanced level exercises addressing a broad range of topics related to hydraulics and hydraulic systems. The course begins with a review of hydraulic principles and progresses through hydraulic system components including pumps, valves and motors. Several exercises require students to troubleshoot “real life” hydraulic system problems.
