Course Description
This low-voltage training programme is designed to introduce candidates to the specific methods and techniques required to joint and terminate live low-voltage cables up to (and including) 1000V (1kV). Under instruction from our low voltage training professionals, you will learn the correct methods involved in the preparation of live low voltage cables prior to jointing or terminating them. During the course, you will gain an understanding of how to correctly strip and prepare a cable, allowing you to install almost any type of joint or termination made by any manufacturer.
Who is the Course Suitable For?
This course is made for Cable Jointers, Electricians and Technicians and also suitable for engineers/supervisors who wish to have a greater understanding of what is involved in the application of cable accessories.
