Length:	3 days (1 to 5 days for custom onsite training)
Percent Hands-on:	75%
Training Equipment:	Miscellaneous electrical equipment and components (24v max); Power supplies; Fluke multimeters
Pre-requisites:	None
Target Audience:	Mechanics, Operators, and non-technical personnel, or those needing a refresher in basic electrical concepts
Maximum Class Size:	12 students
Public Course Cost:	$1195 (per student)
Onsite Course Cost*	$2250/day plus T/L (Contact us for a detailed quote) *Costs stated are maximum values, but may be reduced based on course timing, location, early scheduling, advanced payment, and total volume of training.
