Imperial Corporate Training Institute has developed an Electrical Power Systems for Non-Engineers Training Course that makes the complicated arena of electrical networks more favourable to those that do not hold a technical engineering qualification. The program presents to participants, in a comprehensive approach, the basics of electrical power systems, utility engineering principles, and the main components of today’s electrical infrastructure. The course is designed to provide all learners, regardless of their prior experience, with the ability to read, interact with, and facilitate actions regarding the electric power systems of their organisation.
The course allows participants to understand the process and methods by which electricity is produced, transferred, and ultimately delivered to the end user on a large scale. In addition to the fundamental understanding of electrical power system operations and applications, the course explains the function of various electrical distribution equipment and how they contribute to ensuring safety and reliability in power flowing through the grid system. The practical realities and examples included in the course serve as tools to give learners the means to be competent in their work as a member of the administrative, management, commercial, or operational functions of the utilities industry. At the completion of the course, the registrant will have developed the confidence and knowledge to work collaboratively with engineers and the technical staff of the electric power industry.
