About Mechanical to Electrical Part 1

Mechanical to Electrical - Part 1 provides the first part of a City & Guilds accredited, 16-day programme which is divided into 4 parts, each part consisting of a 4-day course.

Part 1 is designed for technicians who have no previous electrical background, to enable them to perform high frequency, low risk, first-line electrical maintenance tasks including safe isolation, replacement and testing of a range of common electrical devices (motors, sensors, contactors, overloads, etc.) in a safe and effective manner. Most importantly, the format of the course is specifically designed so that, when combined with suitable on-site consolidation of training, it will assist the maintenance manager in meeting the legal requirements for employee competence in electrical work.

The Mechanical to Electrical Programme is also available as an on-site, cost-effective alternative to our regular public training courses held at our training centre in Reading.
