Detailed information about this program
The Exploring Electricity certification introduces learners to electrical theory, safety, and practical wiring skills. Through an instructor-led, hands-on curriculum using the Exploring Electricity Trainer and digital multimeters, learners build and test circuits using lamps, switches, resistors, and motors. The program progresses from foundational electrical properties to applied circuit design, with integrated projects and an engineering design challenge to simulate real-world applications. Topics include Electrical Safety, Electrical Properties (Voltage, Current, Resistance), Multimeter Measurement Techniques, Series and Parallel Circuit Design, Circuit Wiring and Switching, Ohm's Law and Electrical Power Calculations, Three-Way Switching Systems, and Project-Based Applications (Lighting Systems, Relays, and Alarms).
