Electrical Distributor Training
Make sure your distributors have the knowledge they need to increase sales.
Successful distributors understand that knowledge is key. The more they know about a product, the bigger the opportunity to make a sale.
This step-by-step program targets trainees without a technical background and gives them a firm grounding in electrical principles, components and equipment used by your customers. Students without a solid foundation in business are advised to complete the Warehousing and Distribution Core Training program, before entering an electrical training program.
Trainees who complete the program will be able to:
- Understand important principles and applications such as voltage, current, resistance and Ohm's Law.
- Identify all types of components and test equipment including oscilloscopes, meters, boxes, conduit, fittings, switches, circuits and fuses.
- Explain the operation and use of motors, generators and transformers.
- Refer to the National Electrical Code handbook effectively.
You can work with your Training Consultant to devise an individualized program or follow the complete Electrical Distributor Training course list below.
