The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course in The Basics of Electrical Network Maintenance, where the technical purpose of this course is to define the different types and methods of maintaining electrical networks and high voltage lines, in addition to introducing high voltage lines, how to operate and maintain them in a safe manner, addressing the assessment of risks during electrical work, how to calculate and assess risks, and work to reduce risks.

The course will be useful by all standards, as it contain a full explanation of all elements of the electrical system, such as transformers, cables, generators, circuit breakers, various protection systems, and how to deal with them and test them strictly according to the standard specifications.

The target group:

• Workers in Electrical Engineering.
• Maintenance Engineers.
• Electrical Design Engineers.
• Occupational Safety and Health engineers
• Those wishing to develop their abilities in this field.
