Course Description

In order to have a profession and specialize in the field of Electricity and Electronics, first of all you need to learn the basics of this field. Nowadays, in the fields of automotive, machinery, mechatronics and computers, electrical and electronics are indispensable elements. This course is also designed to meet and contribute to this need.


Most importantly, no special hardware or software is required. This is an introductory course about the theory of Electricity and Electronics, so no previous knowledge is required. To get the best out of the lessons, students should be comfortable with some basic arithmetic as I will often write and solve equations, in particular when analyzing simple circuits. Understanding a bit of physics can help too, but it is not required. Electronic circuits are everywhere, from computers and smartphones, to home appliances and cars. Think of all the everyday objects that are becoming smart in the future, most of the things that we own will contain some electronics. Jobs in electronics are in high demand and well paid in almost every country!


In the Basic Electricity-Electronics course, you will find a lot of lessons about basic concepts, direct current and alternating current principles, circuit analysis, working logic of active circuit elements made of passive and semiconductors, use of circuit simulation programs and use of measuring instruments.

The main drawback is the inconsistent quality of the lessons. Also, in some cases there is some duplication – the same information delivered multiple times but by a different lector.

I kinda dislike the indian one because it is harder for me. To understand him and his mic isnt as good but this course is surely very amazing for the begginers like me

At this moment I'm getting an excellent electronic fundamentals, the videos are very well done and very easy to understand. Course structure and the Depth of content with real examples. Instructor's teaching style is very easy to follow.

Clear narration with good examples of circuit diagrams and applications. Though there are duplication of content in some modules but the course overall make for easy understanding and knowledge refresh.

By Vijay Chunarkar on 3/29/2023

I have very much interest to learn you put into videos, make in detail about IC circuit, how it is designed, problem on breboard , Thanks

By Larry Lynn Adams on 10/19/2022

I am the supervisor of a technical training branch for a highly technical organization. I was previously an electronics instructor at the organization and wanted to check the value of this training. This class will provide the foundational platform for the development of our future electronic mechanics. This will allow my present electronic instructor to focus more on developing troubleshooting abilities and communicating advanced information rather than spending time on teaching basic information.

By Edgardomitre Mitre on 7/21/2022

Excellent and simple way to learn about Electrical-Electronics Components and Symbols. Good exercise at the end to get an idea of how they are used and displayed.
