About Mechanical to Electrical Part 4
The Mechanical to Electrical – Part 4 builds on the 16 practical competences from the previous 3 parts of MCP’s Mechanical to Electrical Conversion programme. Part 4 continues with fault finding and introduces programmable controllers and thermography.
The Mechanical to Electrical Programme is also available as an on-site, cost-effective alternative to our regular public training courses held at our training centre in Reading.
