Fluke, manufacturer of electrical and industrial test tools, is making its body of knowledge available to public and privately owned registered training facilities or educational institutions.

Available course material includes: basic electrical measurement; electrical measurement safety; electrical measurements on adjustable-speed drives; harmonics; insulation resistance testing; maintaining and troubleshooting HVAC/R systems; power quality; process instrument calibration and maintenance.

As an added incentive, Comtest is offering additional discounts on all Fluke equipment bought by these educational institutions.

We believe that this will positively impact those students coming into our industry."
