SCR Training Courses

Typical Intermediate/Advanced Training Course Program

This Intermediate / Advanced SCR Training Course is ideal for those who have previously
attended an SCR training program and who wish to further their knowledge. The essential SCR
concepts are quickly revised. While the emphasis is placed more on tuning and regulation. This
course includes some detailed study of the electronic circuits enabling students to tackle electronics
troubleshooting to component level. The program covers the same ground as the Basic /
Intermediate course while delving more deeply into the Hill Graham / Ross Hill designed circuits.
