Q & A with John
What are students learning in the courses you teach and how is that knowledge applicable
to the real world now?
Students learn theory of electrical principles and their application in various industries.
Technicians are called on to repair and support equipment that may be old or modern,
simple or complex, but the basics are still the same.
| Designed and built by John, our electrical trainers provide hands-on learning in class. |  |
What is the class size like? Why is having a smaller class size a benefit to each
individual student?
We limit our class size to 12 students. This allows for better individual student
attention, especially during the class hands-on time.
What are the benefits of businesses/companies utilizing customized training to upskill
or reskill their employees?
Qualified electrical maintenance technicians are in short supply. This shortage does
not show signs of improving in the foreseeable future. Employers use our continuing
education classes to upgrade the skills of existing employees.
