Description
Are you interested in Electrical Engineering?
Are you an Engineering Apprentice?
Do you want a future in Engineering?
Are you an aspiring automation/controls Engineer?
Stuck not knowing where to start?
If your answer to any of the questions above is yes, then this course is for you.
Taking this course you will learn what Relay Logic is, how it works, how it is used in real life situations and how it is a solid foundation in Electrical Engineering.
By learning the fundamentals, where Ladder Logic and PLCs grew from, you will be much better equipped for further learning
This course will first explain the theory of Relay Logic and show you what it looks like on paper and also, show and explain to you real world examples.
You will learn the basic components used in relay logic with videos of me physically showing you each component and teaching you what they do, how they work and how they are documented in relay logic electric circuit diagrams. Including video demonstrations of the components operating in real time on a test rig.
Next to create your own circuits, I will show you how to install and use a free software available online to simulate electrical circuits on your own PC. You will be confident in simulating circuits and you will be starting to think like an Engineer.
Now confident with simulating basic electrical circuits, I will set you 5 projects to work on. Each project will give you a specification followed by test criteria which you must fulfil before moving on to the explanation, where I show you how I did it myself. As long as you fulfil the test criteria, there are no wrong solutions.
Following completion of these projects, I will explain to you what you should do next depending on what you are interested in for your Engineering Education
Who this course is for:
- This course is aimed at anyone wanting to or already on the path to be an electrical engineer, automation engineer or anyone with an interest in electrical engineering, this course will explain to you the basis of logical circuits and get you using your brain on a number of practical projects using free software available online. These practical tasks will give you real experience working out how to design an electrical circuit and will get you thinking like an engineer.
- Perfect for Engineering Apprentices
- Anyone wanting to be an Automation Engineer or and Electrical Engineer and doesn't know where to start

My name is Stephen Raymond I am From the UK and have spent 10 Years as an Electrical Engineer in a food factory where I completed my apprenticeship and continued studying up to a HND Level. During my apprenticeship I gained a keen interest in Relay Logic which led to Ladder Logic and PLCS. I enjoyed the challenge of being set a circuit to build and having to work it out with pen and paper and present it to the class. I plan to now transfer this knowledge and passion to you.
