e-Learning Electrical Safe Work Practices (Presentation) Software

Train your workforce on the hazards electricity may present, and you can enhance the training process using visual aids. New Standard Institute's Electrical Safe Work Practices training presentation includes overheads extracted from the material covered in our computer based training (CBT) on Electrical Safe Work Practices, which is also included in this package. This program is Projector-ready, or it can be used on individual PCs.

We recommend each student be provided with their own computer based training module, prior to an instructor-led Presentation of the material.
