Benefits
By the end of this two-day foundation course delegates will have learned via classroom theory and some practical demonstrations the knowledge to complete a domestic satellite installation to the CAI’s Codes of Practice. You will be equipped to a high standard of theoretical knowledge and limited practical experience after completing this course, however we would strongly recommend those new to this industry where possible also gain practical field experience with a reputable installation company.
Learning style
This is a mix of theory and some practice, other than simple mathematics no prior knowledge of electronics and electricity is required.
Who should attend?
The course is suitable for those with no experience who wish to enter the industry and for installers who have experience but want to know more theoretical and practical aspects of satellite reception and installation.
