The Basic Electricity Boot Camp is a breakout of the Basic Electricity and Troubleshooting material from the Fundamentals of Appliance Repair course. It is only sold as an optional add-on to the Advanced Schematics course.
This course is designed for the experienced appliance technician who wants to take the Advanced Schematics Analysis training course, needs the prerequisite thorough basic training in electricity and schematics, but already has knowledge of tools, parts, basic gas, electronics, and electric motors. (Those additional topics are taught in Fundamentals.)
We recommend that most techs take the Fundamentals course. We have many veteran techs who have appreciated the depth and breadth of the instruction given there. However, to meet the variety of needs of the tech community, we offer this course that has a more narrow focus.
NOTE: If you are already enrolled in Fundamentals, then you have this material already!
