Electronics

About The Course

Many specialized electronic circuits used in industry do not have modern replacements available. This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to fault-find electronic circuits like these to component level. It also provides the skills and knowledge required to understand electronic circuits and make repairs and modifications to them. It complements the Soldering & PCB Repair Course

Course Participants

The course is intended for those who have an electrical background and who wish to extend their work into the field of electronics.

Course Presentation

The course provides participants with an understanding of electronic components and how they would be used in electronic circuits. Participants then develop their knowledge and their testing, measurement and fault finding skills on a range of industrial electronic circuits with switched faults, using oscilloscopes, logic probes and other test equipment to diagnose them. Comprehensive course notes are provided.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of the course, participants will be able to

• apply suitable safety precautions when working on electronic equipment (anti-static precautions, electric shock hazards etc)
• identify electronic components and read their values (passive components, transistors, voltage regulators, ICs etc)
• understand the operation of electronic components within circuits
• read electronic circuit diagrams
• use electronic test equipment to analyse circuits (oscilloscopes, logic probes etc)
• apply a systematic approach to fault finding
• locate a range of faults to component level (on a range of simple to complex electronic circuit boards).
