As a technician, you’ll come face to face with plenty of electrical components on every heavy-duty truck or piece of heavy equipment you work on. This self-paced class is a great comprehensive guide for everything from electrical safety to electromagnetism. You’ll even learn how to properly use a multimeter to diagnose electrical issues and how to then repair wires. This class teaches these concepts with text, images, diagrams, animations, and quizzes. After you finish all the labs and quizzes and score a 70% or higher on your first try, you’ll receive a certificate of completion.
