more product information

Built for industry: Maintenance-first scenarios, with skills assessments to identify gaps

Role-ready skills: Motors, VFDs, controls, electrical wiring, PLC fundamentals, and electrical safety

Compliance-minded: Awareness aligned to the National Electrical Code and site procedures (documentation, LOTO, PPE)

Easy to manage: Assign paths, track progress, export certificates, stay fully compliant

Electrical systems: Give technicians a practical mental model of your facility’s electrical systems, from service entrance to distribution, MCCs, motors/drives, and control circuits. Crews learn the key concepts that cut mean-time-to-repair: tracing power, finding high-resistance faults, verifying three-phase balance, and proving isolation before work.

Online electrical courses for workforce development: ITC’s courses are engineered for workforce development inside plants. Content maps to common work orders, motor won’t start, nuisance trips, overheating drives, so techs can fix issues the same shift.

Electrical skills: Grow the electrical skills that matter on your floor:

  • Basic electrical theory, measurements, and safe test practices 
  • Electrical wiring standards (torque, terminations, labeling, conduit)
  • Motors, soft starters, and VFDs (symptoms → tests → corrective action)
  • Controls (sensors, relays, overloads, interlocks)
  • PLC fundamentals (ladder interpretation for maintenance)
  • Electrical safety: LOTO, arc-flash awareness, PPE selection

Electrical careers and advancement: Use training to drive retention and advancement. Document competencies, meet internal educational requirements, and give technicians a solid foundation successful career path, tech → senior tech → lead → planner/supervisor, without sending them off-site.

Electrical technician and multi-craft roles design: Designed for the electrical technician and multi-craft roles who split time across mechanical, instrumentation, and electrical tasks. Lessons emphasize clear communication with planners, QA, EHS, and electrical contractors to keep work moving.

Modern measurable electrician training: Modern electrical skills training in a plant must be modular, measurable, and production-aware. Our interactive lessons use short videos, animations, and scenario questions to drive retention and speed up on-the-job performance.

A training program for onboarding and upskilling: Stand-alone or blended, the ITC training program slots directly into onboarding and upskilling plans. Map courses to SOPs, PMs, and outage prep so learning supports outcomes your plant tracks.

What’s included

  1. Role-based paths and courses (30–35 minutes)
  2. Knowledge checks, assessments, certificates
  3. Manager dashboards and CSV exports for audits
  4. Guidance for pairing online learning with supervised on site experience so learners gain hands on experience

Electrical theory: We start with applied electrical theory, Ohm’s Law, power, impedance, AC vs DC, then connect numbers to field diagnostics: expected readings, imbalance tolerances, and when to de-energize.

Reading electrical drawings: Technicians practice reading electrical drawings, schematics, one-lines, and ladder logic, to trace faults, verify interlocks, and document changes so future work is faster and safer.

Electrical training to build capability and support compliance: Our electrical training builds capability while supporting compliance. Content is awareness-aligned to the National Electrical Code and site standards, helping teams stay fully compliant with procedures, permits, and documentation.

Train at your own pace: Training fits shift realities. Assign modules ahead of PM blitzes or outages so techs learn at their own pace without pulling equipment or people offline.

Self paced courses: Every course is self paced with interactive lessons, immediate feedback, and a final assessment, so progress is visible, consistent, and auditable.

  • Modular lessons with interactive exercises for knowledge retention
  • Initial skills assessment to target gaps and personalize learning paths
  • Progress tracking + final exam with certificate of completion for records
  • Anytime access so crews can train before/after shifts without disrupting production
  • New-hire onboarding for entry-level maintenance techs
  • Cross-training mechanics into electrical fundamentals to build multi-craft capacity
  • Refresher training ahead of shutdowns, turnarounds, or PM blitzes
  • Safety reinforcement (PPE, LOTO, arc-flash awareness) for EHS programs and audits
  • ITC specializes in industrial skills training for plant environments, with course design and assessments built around real-world maintenance work and regulatory expectations. The catalog spans electrical, mechanical, instrumentation, and safety to help manufacturers standardize training and scale workforce capability.
