About the course

This self-learning course covers the basic concepts and principles of electricity. This is a course designed by OCA but open for participants for other MSF OCs.

How to enrol

Self-enrolment and accessible to all staff in the movement.

Certification

A badge will be issued after the successful completion of the end module test questions.

Training approach

Two live online sessions (3 hours) plus self-learning tasks before and after the live sessions   (3-4 hours).

Evaluation

Assignment after the online session to make the link of the learning and application in their work place.

Target audience

Maintenance people and new electricians that need a refresh of the basics of electricity. No pre-requirements to register for this module.

Duration

3-4 hours over multiple sessions (recommended)

Learning objectives

By the end of this training, the participants should be able to;

• Calculate current, voltage and resistance in a circuit and recognise how these are related to each other
  
• Demonstrate (or ‘Explain in their own words’) how current, resistance and heat relate to each other
  
• Demonstrate how series circuits and parallel circuits functions
  
• Explain in their own words the differences between Alternating Current and Direct Current

List of contents
