All the parts are provided and diagrams, instructions and videos.

When you order this lab, you will receive all electronic parts for experiments, a link to print the lab manual with all the lessons and experiments and a link to view all online video presentations where an electronics instructor takes you through of each of the lessons and experiments. Upon completion of this lab, you will receive a signed Career Certificate of Electronics Training for Lab 1P.  

With this lab, you will not only learn electronics, you will have a way of proving you have. No longer will prospective employers or customers just have to take your word for it.

The purpose of this lab is to teach you the basics of electronics technology. It is ideal for the person at home or at work.

The lab starts out with four lessons of information to give a foundation to begin the journey. Then, with several electronics experiments, you learn how to use the eleven electronic components which are the building blocks for electronic circuits. This hands-on experience will give an individual valuable skills for them to use in today’s world of technology.

Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to:

• Draw an atom and label each element.
• Describe electron flow in a simple circuit.
• Draw a simple circuit schematic and identify the elements required for current to flow.
• Draw and identify basic electronics symbols.
• Read the Resistor Color Code and determine the values of resistors.
• Discuss the concepts and principles of a solderless circuit board.
• Construct circuits on a solderless circuit board.
• Correctly read the values of ceramic disc and electrolytic capacitors.
• Select the correct components and build an electronic circuit.
• Build a basic circuit using a potentiometer. 
• Understand and use a photocell in an electronic circuit.
• Construct a circuit using a schematic diagram.
• Understand how and when to use a capacitor in an electronic circuit.
• Use a transducer like a speaker to make sounds from electron flow in a circuit.
• Know why you hear a clicking sound in a speaker when you connect and disconnect a circuit.
• Understand how the Gate in an SCR works and how to use it in an electronic circuit.
• Build a two-transistor oscillator with a PNP and an NPN transistor.
