Do you want your apprentices to learn more about fault finding on electric motors?
This is a brief description of a recent phone call with one of our customers.
Customer |
“Can you help us? We have a number of apprentices here, their college course covers electrical theory but there is very little they learn about industrial electric motors. You repair our motors……. can one of our apprentices come down and spend time with your engineers?”
|
Fletcher Moorland |
“Ok but we’ll do better than that……. We have our own, week long, motor appreciation course. It combines class room based theory and workshop based practical exercises and gives apprentices and engineers valuable knowledge they can bring back to your site.” |

“Great, when can he come down?” |
