COURSE OVERVIEW:

The efficiency and safety of an electrical workshop depend heavily on the proper selection and utilization of specialized tools and machinery. This course provides a technical foundation for professionals to understand the mechanical and electrical properties of workshop equipment, ranging from precision hand tools to heavy-duty stationary machinery. Participants will explore the engineering criteria for tool selection, ensuring that every piece of equipment is matched to the specific demands of electrical fabrication, repair, and assembly tasks.

The scope of this training addresses the practical application of diagnostic instruments, cable preparation tools, and soldering stations within a controlled workshop environment. It covers the technical nuances of equipment calibration, preventative maintenance schedules, and the ergonomic arrangement of workstations to maximize productivity. The curriculum provides a detailed focus on the operational limits of various power tools and the importance of verifying equipment ratings against the intended electrical load and material hardness.

Coverage includes the implementation of rigorous safety protocols, including the correct use of Personal Protective Equipment and the establishment of machine guarding. Attendees will learn to manage workshop risks such as mechanical entanglement, electrical shock, and toxic fumes from soldering or cleaning agents. By combining theoretical knowledge of tool mechanics with practical safety management, the course equips participants with the expertise required to maintain a high-performance and injury-free electrical workshop.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Identify the technical specifications and use cases for various electrical hand tools.
• Evaluate the quality and safety ratings of workshop machinery before procurement.
• Operate precision measurement instruments for circuit board and component testing.
• Perform safe cable stripping, crimping, and termination using specialized tools.
• Utilize stationary equipment such as drill presses and grinders for electrical fabrication.
• Implement a systematic tool maintenance and calibration tracking system.
• Configure an ergonomic and efficient workshop layout based on workflow analysis.
• Recognize and mitigate mechanical and electrical hazards inherent in workshop tasks.
• Apply appropriate soldering and de-soldering techniques for various component types.
• Manage the storage and handling of hazardous chemicals and cleaning agents.
• Execute proper machine guarding and lockout procedures for workshop equipment.
• Document tool usage and safety incidents according to international standards.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Workshop Technicians, Electrical Apprentices, Maintenance Supervisors, and Safety Officers responsible for electrical repair facilities.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
