e-learning courses

As part of today’s requirements, a competent earthing design is an absolute prerequisite to protect lives from the harmful effects of high-voltage which exist during a fault situation.

Because of, recent developments in international and national standards have proven to be real game-changers in the methodology. And their requirements for compliance. Therefore, the bar, now raised. Demonstrating design competence for Earthing (grounding) to de-risk your business is paramount for a safety-critical specialist component.

Hence, the GreyMatters “Introduction to Earthing” developed to take you on your first step. In other words, on a journey from zero to hero.

This course is a high-level intuitively based view across the topic of earthing (grounding). Together with the design of high-voltage systems, systematically broken down into logical, easily absorbed sessions.

Outcomes

This online training for earthing course will achieve the following learning outcomes:

Greater awareness of Earthing Design concepts.
Refresh the basics of your understanding of electricity.
Provide clarity on the purpose of earthing.
Explain touch and step hazards.
Understand what fibrillation is and, why it is essential for the earthing designer.
Awareness of the importance of Geology and why it plays such an essential role in earthing design.
Receive a full explanation of the Fault theory.
Illustrate the design “Process” and applicable Standards.
Demonstrate measurement techniques at work.

Who should engage:

People who seek a higher level of confidence when discussing projects involving earthing.
Engineers/Project managers from disciplines other than the electrical field.
Graduate engineers as a precursor to life experience.
Construction/civil engineers involved in delivering projects with earthing or earthing design risk factors.
Directors and VP’s of all disciplines who wish to refresh and stay current.

Pre-existing knowledge:

As a first step, this course is the first in a six-part series. Therefore, there is no requirement for previous academic underpinning for this module (at this stage). Also, this module’s content, delivered in plain, easy-to-understand English and each delegate led through the basic earthing concepts without calculation.

Which means, concepts reinforced with practical, real-life examples (videos), and understanding also your understanding regularly tested throughout. So, on completion of the course, each delegate will have the option to take a formal assessment – the results submitted get evaluated. Where needed, further one-to-one advice and mentoring are available to address any weaknesses identified in understanding, and, ensure a reasonable level attained.
