It is a nice course for the basics of reading, understanding, and designing schematics. I gained the basics, and now I'm confident moving on to learning more complex designs and schematics.

By Chris on 7/27/2026

It's honestly what I needed to understand the industrial controls version of schematics and even though NEMA is not being discussed, I believe it was a good decision to focus on IEC, since it is the international standard. The next thing I will look for is the physical wiring aspect. Great training to help me understand what the symbols mean and why it operates.

By Vesa Kazazi on 6/20/2026

I might say that this was a great course. It's intended for beginners, but the way of explaination is really clear and it starts from simple point to more difficult one. Really congrats on the teacher.

By Christian Luis Lazarde Sr on 5/24/2026

great for refreshing your mind and keeping a fresh trace of concept building on schematics & symbols/legends

By Nguyen Thanh on 5/18/2026

Awful pronunciation for those who speak English as a second language. I wonder if she really understands what she is saying.

By Irvin Vasquez on 4/20/2026

Makes me pay attention due to the difficulty without having to be way too complicated. Just the right amount of complexity to still pay attention at the same time of not being totally lost.
