Description

Aimed at:

Engineers, technical engineers, draughtsmen, industrial technicians in general, naval industry technicians, offshore industry technicians, Merchant Navy engineering officers, naval mechanics, teachers, students, and anyone interested in learning how to interpret electrical diagrams for industrial installations.

Objectives:

The correct interpretation of industrial electrical diagrams is essential training for any technician wishing to work in the industrial sector, including the areas of design, maintenance, and operation of equipment and facilities.

The objective of the course is for students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to correctly interpret any electrical diagram commonly found in the industry.

The aim is for students to acquire the skills necessary to deal with practically any electrical diagram, both in terms of power (or force) and control (or manoeuvre), enabling them to interpret the operating sequences of these circuits, create their own, or even detect faults in real installations by identifying problems based on actual plans.

It is a curse eminently practical, with numerous examples of real-life cases that students will work on, ensuring their learning.

Methodology:

The course is taught online through our virtual campus, in a comfortable and flexible environment, eliminating the need for travel and rigid schedules associated with face-to-face training. It also features a range of communication tools that allow students to stay in touch with teachers and fellow students, ensuring effective training with a high level of student engagement.

The assesment of the course will be carried out by theoretical tests and practices also available online. If you pass the course with a minimum grade of five, the corresponding certificate will be issued. diploma acreditativo.

This course is taught by a qualified professional, who has proven professional experience and specialised training in this field.
