Welcome to the Basics of Electricity: AC/DC Circuits!
Have you ever wanted to truly understand how electricity works, but felt a little intimidated by the math or theory? You are in the right place!
By popular demand, we’ve combined the absolute best parts of our individual AC and DC courses into one action-packed, 3-day learning adventure. Because AC and DC principles go hand-in-hand, this combined class is the most efficient, clear, and engaging way to get a fantastic introduction to the world of electricity.
No prior knowledge of electricity is required! We skip the dry, confusing lectures and focus on real-life examples, enlightening simulations, and—best of all—fun, hands-on exercises and experiments. You’ll leave with practical skills and a boost of confidence to supercharge your everyday job performance.
