Purpose of Seminar:
The purpose of this hands-on seminar is to provide the attendee with an increased
confidence and understanding of their personal multimeter, and be able to prove to
his or her employer that they know how to use it properly. This training starts
with the basics of a multimeter, proceeds through its advanced features and
functions, and ends with students being able to take an optional test at the end
of the class making them “American Trainco Certified” in using their multimeter.
This seminar is designed for anyone who needs to sharpen their electrical
troubleshooting skills in order to increase efficiencies and uptime at their
industrial plant or building facility.
After this “hands-on” course you will truly be the “master of your multimeter”!
