Student Reviews
“Being able to learn from a blackboard in a classroom and by using hands-on projects was extremely useful in understating wiring diagrams and seeing them brought to life in the field. I learned how to properly and successfully use my volt meter and other tools to properly locate and fix a problem.”

“Terry was a wonderful instructor who took the time to explain everything. Learned how relays properly work.”
– Joe Enger
