FAQs
A: No. Basic electrical knowledge is helpful, but you don’t need HV experience. We adjust depth and examples to suit your background and current role.
A: Yes. A major focus of the course is understanding how fault levels, CT/VT ratios, and relay curves work together so you can make informed design or commissioning decisions.
A: Yes. The material is built around real-world LV/HV systems, commissioning workflows, and common issues encountered on renewable and industrial sites.
A: Absolutely. We regularly provide private group training and can tailor the content using your own site drawings, relay settings, and documentation requirements.
A: Yes. We cover the principles, safety criteria, and how to interpret site conditions to ensure systems remain safe during faults or failures.
A: We do not take online bookings. Just complete Join the Pathway, and we’ll match you to the next cohort or arrange private delivery depending on your schedule and goals.
