Level Two

What's it all about? 

This course is set up for those who are interested in building electronic projects and who lack the skills or tools to do so. Ideally you will have something that you want to assemble or test, and make a finalised project that you can take away in full working order. There is a limit to what can be done in a 10 week course, but this can also provide you with good practical advice and skills that would enable you to complete a more complex project either at home or by continuing onto the Electronic CAD Basics and PCB Design and Production courses being run later in the year.

Progression 

Electronic CAD Basics (EMECB) leading to Prototype PCB Design and Production (EMPCB)

Entry Requirements 

You will need a familiarity with electronic components, circuit diagrams and terminology associated with the subject, as well as some basic electronic theory.

Duration 

10 weeks
