Basic Electrical Training

Basic Electrical Training for Industrial Workforces

Before a technician can troubleshoot anything electrical, they need to understand why a circuit behaves the way it does.

This electrical theory training series builds that foundation, from Ohm's Law through digital devices, through self-paced, SCORM-compliant online courses.

Why It Matters

Why Basic Electrical Training Matters

A strong foundation in electrical theory helps technicians understand why circuits behave the way they do and prepares them for more advanced troubleshooting and controls training.

Build a Common Starting Point

New hires, cross-trained mechanics, and technicians without a formal electrical background all start from the same foundation.

Cover AC and DC Fundamentals

Courses cover Ohm's Law, AC characteristics, and three-phase AC circuits — the fundamentals that later troubleshooting training builds on.

Introduce Semiconductors and Digital Devices

Courses extend into semiconductors, rectifiers and filters, power devices, and digital devices, connecting basic theory to modern control equipment.

Document Training for Records

Every completed course generates a certificate that can be used for internal documentation and training records.

Course List

What This Training Covers

Basic electrical training is a seven-course program covering foundational electrical theory.

The ITC Approach

A Structured Path From Skill Gaps to Documented Results

1

Plan

Identify the electrical theory topics your team needs to build or reinforce before assigning courses.

2

Train

Assign self-paced, SCORM-compliant courses covering foundational electrical theory.

3

Track

Monitor course completions, scores, and progress by individual, team, or location.

4

Document

Generate certificates of completion and maintain training records by learner, team, or location.
