Your "license" or more properly your training certificate is a legal necessity. DO NOT LET IT LAPSE. This is critically important. You cannot legally work without a valid training certificate, you and the employer are subject to fine if you do so.
Week 1
Lightning protection requirements, motors and lighting design, a big week.
We will be doing labs so have appropriate sturdy shoes.
Call or come in for help prior to your week of school if needed. We are experimenting with different format of homework check, and MAY use an open book test to check if you have completed your lessons.
