Practice Course

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This training provides participants with in-depth knowledge and practical skills for proper cable glanding and termination. Cable glanding and termination are critical steps in ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of electrical installations. The course focuses on the selection, installation, and inspection of cable glands and terminations in compliance with industry standards and safety regulations. 

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the principles and importance of cable glanding and termination
  • Learn to select the appropriate glands and termination methods for different cable types and applications
  • Develop practical skills in installing cable glands and performing terminations
  • Gain knowledge of industry standards, safety practices, and regulatory requirements
  • Be equipped to troubleshoot and inspect cable terminations for quality and reliability.

Who Should Join?

This course is suitable and will especially benefit:

  • Electrical Engineers and Technicians
  • Maintenance Personnel
  • Industrial Electricians
  • Installation Supervisors

COURSE METHODOLOGY:

Facilitated by an experienced TRAINER, our program will be conducted as a highly interactive work session (as opposed to lectures), encouraging participants to share their own experiences and apply their learnings to real-life situations. Each delegate will receive an extensive reference manual, as well as case studies, while worked-out solutions will be handed out to the delegates on the conclusion of group discussions. This training course is designed to be a hands-on, exciting & learning experience. 

COURSE DURATION

5 days

COURSE CERTIFICATES

Participants who successfully complete the required contact hours will be awarded a Certificate of Completion.
