The lessons immerse apprentices into an interactive jobsite where they practice electrical installations and wiring in a safe environment. Virtual learning enhances traditional classroom teaching methods by improving student engagement and knowledge retention

Learn the basics of branch circuit wiring, virtually. In VET Series 1, apprentices will be immersed in wiring scenarios developed in collaboration with professional electricians.

Prepare students for their labs with 7 detailed conduit bending lessons. As apprentices complete their virtual nineties, offsets, and saddles, they'll learn critical skills such as accurate marking, alignment and bender orientation.
