Course Description
Every three years the Canadian Standards
Association updates the Canadian electrical construction and maintenance
industry’s guiding publication – the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1®. The
object is to establish safety standards for the installation and maintenance of
electrical equipment. The purpose of this training is to help electricians
understand the new 2012 changes, while at the same time providing all
non-electrical personnel with a practical introduction to the Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1®.
Whether an experienced Electrician or a Maintenance Technician without a formal electrical training, you need to understand the various aspects of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1®. Any experienced electrician will be the first to admit that learning the CEC® is a life-long experience.
