Electrician Training Free

Can you tell me about the institutes that offer Free Online Electrician Courses, Classes and Learning Materials?

[Arun Vats]

The Free Electrician classes and training materials generally include instruction in circuitry, magnetism, and electrical safety, among other subjects. Some of the resources are free college courses, while others are resources, such as free textbooks or online guides. Materials or course sessions can be downloadable, accessible online, or watchable able in video format.

List of Free Online Electrician Courses, Classes and Learning Materials

Basic Electrical Technology at the Indian Institute of Science - Bangalore
This course is available via 39 video lectures of about an hour long, that may be viewed online or downloaded as MP4 or 3GP files. Topics addressed include transformer basics, DC motors, and Kirchoff's law, among others.

Basic Electrical Technology at the Indian Institute of Technology - Kharagpur
The course is divided into ten main modules with numerous lessons within each; it covers electric and magnetic circuits, induction motors, resonance, measuring instruments, and more. Each lesson plan is downloadable in PDF form, and many contain practice questions at the end (some with solutions also).

Circuits and Electronics at MIT
The free course, one of several from MIT that are relevant to electrician training, offers instruction in circuit analysis, digital abstraction, and amplifiers.

Students have access to 50-minute video lectures that can be downloaded in MP4 format, as well as corresponding transcripts that are downloadable as PDF files.

Circuit Theory at the Indian Institute of Technology - Delhi
A series of 51 video lectures cover all the topics including signals and systems, magnetically coupled circuits, single tuned circuits, and double tuned circuits.

Problem solving lectures are included after every 2-4 lectures to help students apply the material from the previous lectures. Lectures can be downloaded or viewed online.

Electricity and Magnetism at African Virtual University
The course is one of three electricity-related courses available at African Virtual University and covers capacitance, electrical potential, and direct current concepts.

This course module includes exercises with solutions, may be viewed online or downloaded in Microsoft Word or PDF format. Introductory lectures are available as QuickTime videos or viewable on YouTube.

Electrical Safety Basics at OSHAcademy
The online instructional tool offers lessons on various safety topics, which includes electrical shock, burns, and workplace risks. Each lesson includes a quiz, with answers and explanations provided upon completion.
A 64-page study guide is available online and a final exam is also available.

Lessons In Electric Circuits at Open Book Project
The six volumes of the 'Lessons in Electric Circuits' textbook are available for studying online or for individual download as PDF files. It contains information on ladder logic, semiconductors, conversion factors, and diverse types of circuits, to name a few topics.

Soldering Guide at MIT
The tutorial is part of a group of high school courses which is developed by MIT and teaches students how to make basic solders in electronic devices.
