The skills obtained can be applied in both manufacturing and service industries.

60% of the course is practical supported with custom designed electrical rigs which simulate an industry setting (single and three phase, with motor control, VSD etc)

We have designed and built Mechanical and Electrical/PLC  rigs which are intended to exercise the students knowledge of the course material.

This equipment has been designed by industry experts to provide an appreciation of the technical and engineering skills required in today’s hi-tech industries.

Our bespoke training equipment together with the real-life experience of our teaching staff combines to provide a unique learning opportunity.

The theory element of the Diploma in Industrial Electrical Systems (Tuesday evenings) will be taken Live-Online and the practical side will be taken at the College on Saturdays where you will work in a real world setting while using electrical rigs.

The ability to diagnose electrical system faults will save time and money and effective troubleshooters add great value to the organisation they work for.

Taking this Diploma in Industrial Electrical Systems and receiving the qualification will mean that you have demonstrated your competence as required by Health and Safety legislation.

This qualification will present you with opportunities to work in diverse areas within the manufacturing environment carrying out the diagnosing and repair/replacement of components.

This course will be of interest to students who wish to pursue opportunities in the Manufacturing, Pharma, Data Centre and Construction industries for technical roles in Equipment Maintenance, Facility Maintenance, Production Operations and Equipment Installation and Commissioning.
