10 Electrical Fire Training Courses

1. Electrical Safety

Electrical Safety by SC Training (formerly EdApp) is an electrical fire training course that aims to help electrical technicians in developing their practical skills and knowledge of electrical safety protocols. In three short lessons, your workers will learn how to use insulated protection equipment and provide first aid for burns and electrical shocks brought on by arc flashes. 

Working with powered equipment, identifying dangers, and grounding electricity are also extensively covered in this course. To end the training, the common risks associated with working with electricity are discussed. These risks include overloaded circuits, poor wiring, damaged tools and equipment, exposed electrical components, and overhead power lines.

Microlearning and gamification are two techniques used in this course that help in memory retention. With microlearning, lessons are designed to be short but impactful. Gamification, on the other hand, turns routine learning into fun and interactive training. You can encourage your teams to finish their training quickly without losing their interest by mixing the two elearning strategies.
