This Electrical Supervisor course is designed for Electrical Supervisors, Electricians, Electrical Engineers, Electrical Technicians, Electrical Maintenance Engineer and Electrical Assessors.

Through this comprehensively guided course, you will learn the safety precautions and the risk assessment process, along with taking you through the structure of atoms, electrons, resistance, electric current, electric units, and Ohm’s Laws. Furthermore, you will also grasp and develop a better understanding of direct current, alternating current, voltage, resistance, capacitance and capacitors.

Safety from electricity is important as hazards such as shock and arc flash can result in injuries and even death. So we took extra steps and designed modules that focus on mentioning electrical incidents, how to work safely with electrical equipment and how to inspect and test to ensure risks are reduced and controlled. As a supervisor, you will need to have great communication skills. We covered that too in our course. We will focus on listening, communication strategies, and verbal, written, oral and non-verbal communication.
