Requirements
There are no requirements for this course, this course was designed to explain electricity and electrical systems in such a way that someone who does not have any electrical work experience will understand it. This course is not math intensive, but we will cover a few basic formulas. If mathematics is not your strong point, there is no shortage of online calculators that can do the calculations for you.

Just like this course description, the videos are short, on topic and straight to the point.
This course does not qualify you as an electrician and does not authorize you to conduct any electrical work. This course is not math intensive, but we will cover a few basic formulas. If mathematics is not your strong point, there is no shortage of online calculators that can do the calculations for you.
