01About the course
What you will learn in Basic Electrical
The Executive Diploma in Basic Electrical is a short 20-hour programme that explains how electricity works and how it is used safely in buildings and machines. It covers voltage, current, resistance and power, DC and AC supply, simple circuits, common electrical components, basic wiring and earthing, and how to read electrical symbols and drawings. Almost every industry – construction, manufacturing, hospitals, facilities and electrical design – needs people who understand electrical basics.
This page is for learners outside Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet – NRIs, professionals in the Gulf and other countries, and students elsewhere in India who want Basic Electrical taught live by a trainer.
No prior electrical knowledge is needed. School-level physics and basic maths are enough.
