• There are no requirements for this course, this course was designed to explain electricity and electrical systems in such a way that someone who does not have any electrical work experience will understand it. This course is not math intensive, but we will cover a few basic formulas. If mathematics is not your strong point, there is no shortage of online calculators that can do the calculations for you.

I have over 10 years electro-mechanical work experience in the repair and refurbishment of single / three-phase HP compressors. I am also a qualified electrician. (QCTO Certificate Number 12/169861)
When I write my courses, I try my best to simplify the explanations, and I avoid unnecessary information. My videos are short, on topic and straight to the point.
I am also a PG Pilot and Scuba Diver.
