Basic electricity training
For teams that first need the fundamentals.
BA4 or BA5 sometimes gets stuck because the basics are missing. This course makes the core concepts clear: voltage, current, resistance, power, circuits, protection and safe measuring.

Why this course exists
Electrical safety quickly becomes abstract when participants do not feel the basic words. What is current? Why does resistance matter? What does a residual-current device do? Why is earthing not a detail? Without that base, BA4 or BA5 becomes a list of rules.
Anton therefore builds understanding first. No long maths lesson, but enough theory to understand real situations and ask better questions.
Who benefits from this
Preparation for BA4 or BA5
For participants who need to work safely but have little prior electrical knowledge.
Mixed groups
Useful when some participants are technical and others are not. The basics bring the group closer together.
Practical refresher
For employees who once saw electricity, but want voltage, current, resistance, power or measuring methods clear again.
Content of the basic electricity course
- what electricity is and why it can be dangerous
- voltage, current, resistance, power and energy
- direct current and alternating current
- Ohm’s law in plain language
- series, parallel and simple mixed circuits
- short circuit, overload and heat development
- fuses, breakers and residual-current devices
- earthing and protective measures
- cables, conductors, colours and basic equipment
- distribution board and simple electrical installation
- basics of reading diagrams and recognising symbols
- safe measuring with simple instruments
- PPE, tools and safe work attitude
- common mistakes on the work floor
- short evaluation or practical check
How Anton teaches it
The course can be short and focused, or more extensive as preparation for BA4/BA5. Anton adapts the examples to the group: office, production, maintenance, facility, technical service or mixed teams.
What someone should take away
Afterwards, a participant should not only name the basic concepts, but use them: what happens during a short circuit, why does a breaker trip, why do you not just measure anywhere, and when do you stay away from an installation?
Good starting point. Basic electricity is not a replacement for BA4 or BA5. It is a way to let participants start BA4/BA5 stronger, or to make employees with little prior knowledge safer and more confident.
Possible approach
Short refresher
For groups that quickly want to repeat the basic concepts before BA4 or BA5.
Full basic training
For beginners or mixed groups that need more time for examples, questions and simple exercises.
Private lesson or custom work
For one participant, a small technical team or a company with very specific questions.
Strengthen the basics before BA4 or BA5?
Tell Anton the current level of the group. He will decide whether a short refresher or a full basic course makes sense.
