Without knowing your capabilities or the course level then impossible to say.

Don't they have common sense and practice over there then?

Build that up and then go on manufacturer's courses.

Eddie, I think you may be going to waste your time with a course of that nature. The thing is there may be a lot covered that's not relevant, audio for example etc etc......

Buy some basic electrics & electronics books that cover things like Ohms law etc. Also the internet & youtube are fantastic, use it, it's free.

That was surprisingly civil of you DP!

Or are you showing a Celtic bias ?

Ach, most of it is just site banter Eddie - & I'm as guilty as most. There's lots of good guys on here & in the combustion chamber pot(I call it that cause there's a few in there that are full of p.sh & wind) you'll find a fund of knowledge.
Best of luck mate & like us all, we learn something new every day.

Can't see anything but constructive advise.

If you take that to heart then you won't last long Eddie.

Eddie, I forgot to add, get yourself a good autorange multimeter. If you can stretch to a Fluke 116, it'll last you a lifetime, if not one of these was recommended to me a few months back on here, when I was looking for a wee pocket one;
