Electrical Wiring Course II from Udemy

*Dear all, please note that am going to upgrade this course I will add 2 more projects to design which will help you to become more and more familiar with electrical layouts, hopefully in January 2022 I will finish the upgrading process, thank you a lot for appreciating.

Welcome all to the Electrical Wiring Course II. In this course I will teach you how to design Light layout, Power layout and DB schedule. In addition I will show you several layouts for several projects, so for sure you will expand your horizons. The project that we are going to design is a small dress shop. Once you understand how to design a small project then the big project will be the same procedures but with much more quantities. Section 3 is the main core for this course. Section 4 is the complement for section 3 and section 5 is the conclusion with General notes while section 1 is a quick revision and section 2 is a warm up before starting designing.

*I have kept some videos for free so you can evaluate and decide if the course is suitable for you.

If you don't know how to use AutoCAD no problem, you can work with me by printing out the attached plans and work by putting the note on the plan by your hand (prefer to use pencil).

Hint: This course is not for teaching you AutoCAD or how to use AutoCAD, instead I will teach you how to design the circuits in the Light layout and power layout, after that how to put it in the DB schedule.

If your goal is to understand electrical layouts for houses and buildings, I recommend you to subscribe in this course.

Reviews summary

Practical electrical layout design for buildings

According to learners, this course offers an incredibly practical approach to electrical wiring design, focusing on real-world projects for light layout, power layout, and DB schedules. Students widely praise the detailed design process for a small dress shop, finding it invaluable for immediate application in engineering and contracting roles. While it serves as a solid continuation of Course I, some learners with weaker foundations or limited CAD exposure found the pace challenging, noting that the quick revisions were insufficient. Overall, it is highly recommended for career-focused individuals seeking to enhance their ability to read and analyze electrical building layouts.

Basic CAD software familiarity is beneficial, though not explicitly taught.

"while it states AutoCAD isn't taught, working alongside required some basic CAD knowledge that wasn't covered."

"I also found it hard to follow without some AutoCAD skills, even though it said it wasn't about AutoCAD."

"My only minor critique is that some explanations could be a bit slower-paced for absolute beginners in this specific design software."

Instructor is knowledgeable, providing clear and concise explanations.

"The instructor explains complex concepts clearly and the step-by-step design was invaluable."

"The instructor is very knowledgeable and provides useful general notes."

"The instructor's explanation of balancing phases and earth leakage was concise and useful."

Detailed instruction on designing light, power layouts, and DB schedules.

"The sections on Light layout and Power layout design were very thorough."

"The DB schedule design section was particularly well done, providing clear guidelines."

"I found the additional project layouts helpful for expanding my understanding of different scenarios."

"The real-world examples were useful for understanding various project layouts like the restaurant and offices."

Focuses on directly applicable skills for real-world electrical projects.

"This course is incredibly practical and directly applicable to real-world projects."

"I was able to apply what I learned immediately in my job."

"Absolutely brilliant! The practical examples are what make this course stand out."

"I loved designing the dress shop layout step-by-step; it felt like a real project."

Requires strong foundational knowledge from Electrical Wiring Course I.

"I struggled a bit with the pace. It assumes you're already quite familiar with electrical concepts from Course I..."

"I found this course somewhat challenging. As someone who only completed Course I a while ago, the quick revision wasn't enough."

"It relies too heavily on prior knowledge from Course I and assumes a level of expertise I don't have."

"This course is more for those with a strong foundation already built from the first course."
