EMTTS – Electric Motor Testing Training Series

The Snell Group is proud to announce the development of an “On-Line” version of our 32-hour Electric Motor Testing Training Courses. This innovative presentation provides all the information and documentation that you would receive if you were to sit the actual live course. The Power Point topics have been recorded and links are provided to labs and demonstration videos. There is also access for contact with an actual course instructor for any questions you may have.

The course has been designed so that you can take one section at a time, when time and training funds permit. Each topic can be purchased individually. You may also pay for the entire course and take up to 6 months at your leisure to complete all the topics. Paying for the entire course is the most economical method. However, there are no prerequisites for an individual section, take just one as a refresher or to learn more about Electric Motor Testing.

Full motor testing course available.
