Basic Electrical Engineering Knowledge (BEEK)

SKU: OTH-BEEK

Course objective

To provide individuals without electrical training with basic theoretical and practical knowledge of electrical engineering. The course aims to prepare participants to move safely within the environment of wind turbine electrical installations and to understand the basic physical phenomena occurring in circuits.

Duration: 38.5 hours
Location: Gdynia
IM compilance: IMV1
Price per person: Ask for the price

Course description

The training covers the fundamentals of direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). The programme includes instruction on physical quantities (voltage, current, resistance, power), Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s laws. Participants learn to read simple electrical diagrams, identify components (resistors, capacitors, coils, relays) and use a multimeter safely.

Duration

The course lasts 38,5 hours.

Prerequisites

Basic level of education (basic knowledge of mathematics required), at least 18 years of age. No prior knowledge of electrical engineering is required – the course starts from scratch.

Outcomes upon completion

The participant understands the principles of how electrical circuits work, is able to safely carry out basic voltage and continuity tests, recognises symbols on technical diagrams, and understands the risks associated with contact with electric current (including electric arcs).

Certificate validity

The certificate does not expire (it is valid indefinitely), however, in the wind energy sector, it is recommended to refresh technical knowledge every 2 years.

What to bring

  • Valid ID card or passport,
  • A calculator (a simple one or on your phone will suffice),
  • Comfortable clothing (if practical exercises with assembly panels are planned).

Why choose us?

Certified and audited GWO training centre

We offer one of the broadest training portfolios on the market and operate in accordance with international Global Wind Organisation standards. The quality of our training, the competencies of our instructors and our infrastructure are regularly audited.

ONLY AT IM TRAINING: a globally unique PCTC crew course using a full-scale training facility

We have a specialist training ground where participants practise realistic scenarios, including firefighting operations on PCTC vessels, RO-RO vessels and ferries, as well as hazards associated with electric vehicle fires.

We were the first in Poland to introduce GWO High Voltage courses

We made competencies available in Poland that previously required training abroad, reducing the time companies need to prepare teams for onshore and offshore projects.

End-to-end training organisation

We manage the entire process, from agreeing a suitable date and arranging transport and accommodation to delivering the training and preparing complete documentation. We also provide end-to-end support for groups and teams travelling from abroad.

Realistic, modern training infrastructure

We train participants using specialist equipment, full-scale structures, training towers, simulators and a pool, so they can practise procedures rather than simply hear about them.

Partnerships with industry and academic leaders

We work with Energy Innovation in Norway and leading maritime institutions in Poland: Gdynia Maritime University and the Polish Naval Academy. We combine international industry experience with expert knowledge and the resources of Polish maritime universities.

We care about more than just training

Accommodation facilities

We assist course participants and companies in arranging accommodation in Gdynia for the duration of their training. We partner with reliable accommodation providers offering a range of standards and price points, all located with convenient access to our training center.

Transport

We arrange transport for course participants from Poland and abroad. We offer transfers from airports, train stations, hotels, or company offices directly to IM Training in Gdynia. For training groups, we can also organize daily transfers between the accommodation and the training center.

Occupational health

In cooperation with an external clinic, we help arrange the required occupational health examinations. The scope may include, among others, the Chester Step Test, an exercise stress test, and the option to obtain an OEUK/OGUK certificate.
