This class is heavily weighted towards hands on. Individual participation is required for Unico to issue an APT Certificate. For each student to have a chance to participate, the class size is limited to 10 attendees.

Please do not attend this class if lifting, wiring and equipment performance verification is not of interest. This is not an easy class and all attendees are required to come prepared to use charts, tables, calculators and hand tools. Please do not make plans to leave early.
