Who would benefit from this Cable Fault Location course?

Less experienced or new people starting in cable test and fault location will gain a significant step forward towards practical work under supervision.

  • Trainees will learn the optimum approach using a process-oriented technique.
  • Using standardised process gives back the minimum impact of test stress on the cable, a fully controlled impact of the process on the fault characteristics and gives repeatable and reliable results that will enable the new users to build on for the future.
  • The course provides an insight and general understanding of the principal process and methods available and indicates how and when different techniques should be used.

Trainees receive an attendance certificate and printed course documentation, and opportunity to opt in to the Baur Training Academy, to receive training update information, news of advanced courses, and new product introduction special offers.
