I learned where to go first [for troubleshooting], and to keep it simple.Brad P., Syncrude
Electrical/Electronics Basics
Objective: Explain basic electrical principles
Activities: Computer simulations to demonstrate electrical principles
Achieve clarity on your volts, ohms and amps for normal and faulted circuits!
Great content, covered most everything to troubleshoot the 24 VDC circuits. I really liked the hands on troubleshooting.Karalee K., Syncrude
Blended Learning
Objective: Create a classroom and lab dynamic where participants see, hear, do, solve, collaborate and experiment.
Activities: Discussions, hands-on fault finding and wiring work, computer simulations, learning games.
Technicians get the exploration time needed and the opportunity to stretch and learn.
The instructor kept things interesting and lots of interaction. Valuable course to take.Jason D., Teck Coal
Electrical/Electronic Components and Devices
Objective: Describe the operating principles of typical electrical and electronic devices and components
Activities: Component and lead identification
Know your resistors, fuses, diodes and their safe handling
Great refresher on the basics and really great troubleshooting techniques.Dave M., Trican
Working With Relays
Objective: Describe relay functions and features
Activity: Test relay coils and contacts
Learn common automotive relay pinouts and terminal identification
Good concepts which are easily translated to my equipment. An excellent introduction to basics, and a good platform on which to build.Martin M., Weatherford
Wiring Harness Troubleshooting Panel #1
Objective: Demonstrate efficient and logical methods for analyzing circuit faults
Activities: Complete challenges to find open and short circuit faults in an electrical system with lamps, relays, a PWM sensor, a proximity switch etc.
Learn or refresh troubleshooting skills
Very informative, especially the hands-on training with the harnesses. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more about electrical circuits and multimeters.Trevor D., Calfrac Well Services
Electrical Measurements using a DMM
Objective: Demonstrate safe and correct meter set-up
Activities: Hands-on and computer simulated circuit measurements
Work your meter expertly with its many functions
The most valuable was learning some of the advanced functions on our multimeters. Very well instructed.Eric B., Syncrude
Troubleshooting Open Circuits
Objective: Explain strategies to find an open circuit fault
Activities: Use a voltmeter to find an open
Learn two methods to find open faults in a circuit
Excellent. You must try to get into this course.Justin M., Trican
Troubleshooting Short Circuits
Objective: Describe the characteristics of a short circuit
Activities: Use a voltmeter to find a short
Learn methods to find and verify a short circuit
Enjoyable, easy to understand. Well worth "refreshing" your skills if you have electrical/electronic experience.Gary G., Calfrac Well Services
Pressure Switches
Objective: Test and adjust pressure switches
Activities: Configure alarm circuits for high and low pressure levels
You will master fixed, adjustable, and programmable pressure switches!
Awesome course. Quite interesting. I highly recommend it to others. Ivan B., Syncrude
Measuring Pulse Width Modulation
Objective: Explain the principles of pulse width modulation
Activities: Set a meter and scopemeter to accurately measure PWM duty cycle and frequency
Not all three-wire rotating controls or levers are potentiometers - some are PWM devices
Instructor was very well prepared and did a very good job with his presentation, and knew his information. Very well worth taking.Cody, Teck Coal
Wiring Harness Troubleshooting Panel #2
Objective: Demonstrate efficient and logical methods for analyzing circuit faults
Activities: Complete challenges to find open and short circuit faults in an electrical system with lamps, relays, a power solenoid, a fan motor, a temperature sensor etc.
Master your fault finding technique in our low pressure and safe training environment
Very good refresher - keeps the teaching method at a level that can be understood.Edward B., Syncrude
Circuit and Wiring Harness Troubleshooting
Objective: Demonstrate skills in basic electrical troubleshooting in order to isolate faulty equipment, devices and components
Activities: Hands-on troubleshooting on panel(s) to troubleshoot open and shorted components and broken wires.
Find faulty sensors, solenoids, switches, relays and motors with confidence
Excellent review/refresher course for mechanics.Kevin K., Calfrac Well Services
