Home Electrician Course

Lesson 1 • Core Electrical Theory

Introduces voltage, current, resistance, and power using Ohm's Law. Provides the mathematical foundation needed to size conductors and circuit breakers later.

Lesson 2 • Reading Electrical Diagrams

Teaches standard schematic symbols and simple wiring diagrams. Students can interpret diagrams before beginning any installation work.

Lesson 3 • Electrical Hazards and Risk Awareness

Covers shock, arc flash, and fire risks in residential settings. Builds the safety mindset that underpins every subsequent hands-on task.

Lesson 1 • Residential Code Concepts

Translates key residential wiring code requirements into practical rules for box fill, circuit spacing, and GFCI placement. Compliance knowledge guides every installation decision.

Lesson 2 • Conductor Types and Conductor Sizing

Explains AWG sizing, insulation ratings, and common cable types such as NM and armoured cable. Correct sizing prevents overheating and code violations.

Lesson 3 • Hand Tools for Electrical Work

Covers screwdrivers, pliers, wire strippers, and fish tapes used daily. Proper tool selection prevents damage to conductors and devices.

Lesson 1 • Branch Circuit Organisation

Teaches how to map, label, and load-balance branch circuits throughout a home. Proper organisation simplifies troubleshooting and future upgrades.

Lesson 2 • Main Panel and Subpanels

Covers panel anatomy, bus bars, neutral and earth separation, and subpanel feeders. Students can safely identify live versus de-energised components inside a panel.

Lesson 3 • Earthing and Bonding

Distinguishes earthing from bonding and explains their roles in fault protection. Correct earthing is required before any outlet or device installation.

Lesson 1 • Running Cable in Walls and Ceilings

Covers drilling, notching, and protecting cable through framing members. Proper routing prevents physical damage and meets code stapling requirements.

Lesson 2 • Conduit Installation Basics

Introduces EMT and PVC conduit bending, coupling, and pulling conductor. Conduit is required in exposed locations and garages.

Lesson 3 • Electrical Box Selection and Mounting

Explains box types, cubic-inch ratings, and mounting methods for new and retrofit work. Correct box selection is the foundation of every device installation.

Lesson 1 • Standard Socket Installation

Covers twin socket wiring, polarity, and earthing in end-of-run and middle-of-run positions. Correct polarity prevents shock and appliance damage.

Lesson 2 • Single-Pole and Two-Way Switches

Teaches switch leg wiring for single-pole and two-way configurations controlling one fixture. Two-way wiring is the most common multi-switch challenge in homes.

Lesson 3 • RCD and AFDD Sockets

Explains how RCD and AFDD devices detect faults and where each is required. Students wire both device types and test them for proper operation.

Lesson 1 • Ceiling Fan Installation

Teaches fan-rated box installation, blade balance, and dual-switch or remote wiring. Incorrect box use is the leading cause of ceiling fan failures.

Lesson 2 • Under-Cabinet and Accent Lighting

Covers hardwired LED strip and puck light installation in kitchens and display areas. Students conceal wiring and connect to switched circuits cleanly.

Lesson 3 • Recessed Lighting Installation

Explains IC versus non-IC housings, remodel cans, and trim selection for recessed lights. Proper housing choice prevents insulation contact fires.

Lesson 1 • Electric Range and Oven Circuits

Covers 50-amp circuit installation, range socket types, and direct-conductor connections. Students distinguish three-conductor legacy wiring from four-conductor current code.

Lesson 2 • Dryer and Water Heater Circuits

Teaches 30-amp dryer and 30-amp water heater circuit wiring with correct terminations. Both appliances require dedicated circuits and specific socket or direct-conductor methods.

Lesson 3 • HVAC Disconnect and Condensing Unit

Explains fused disconnect installation, condenser wiring, and minimum circuit ampacity labels. Students read equipment nameplates to select correct overcurrent protection.

Lesson 1 • Dead Outlets and Open Circuits

Covers testing for open neutrals, broken conductors, and tripped RCD upstream. Students trace a dead outlet back to its source efficiently.

Lesson 2 • Earth Faults and Short Circuits

Explains how to locate earth faults and short circuits using isolation and resistance testing. Students clear faults without damaging equipment or creating new hazards.

Lesson 3 • Circuit Breaker and Overload Problems

Teaches how to identify nuisance tripping, overloaded circuits, and failed circuit breakers. Students calculate load and determine whether a circuit upgrade is needed.

Lesson 4 • Systematic Troubleshooting Approach

Introduces a structured fault-finding process: observe, isolate, test, repair, verify. A repeatable method reduces diagnostic time and prevents misdiagnosis.
