This module of our Digital Age Technology Course is the foundation for all the other modules. Mobile, Hidef, Computers and Networks, the four other modules of Digital Age Technology Course would not exist without electronics. To prove the need for electronics we must look back to the recent past. Things we take for granted today were not even thought of 25 years ago. The first truly recognizable laptop computer was introduced in 1983. The ipod, a pocket staple today, was first sold in 2001 and now in 2007 over 100 million have been sold worldwide. The first generation cell phone was introduced in 1983 limited to basic telephone functions.

Today's cell can download and play music, take photos, connect to the internet and more. All forms of communication depend on this electronic circuitry. Fields such as: Auto Mechanics, Cable Installers, Computer Technicians, IT Support Technicians, Help Desk Operators, Appliance Service Technicians, Medical Technicians, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technicians, TV and Home Entertainment Sound System Calibrators, Office System Repairers and many others require electronic skills to troubleshoot, diagnose and service electronic devices and equipment.

We provide are students with the following skills: learning to use a multi-meter to check AC & DC voltage, current & resistance readings, learning to read wiring diagrams, learning the differences between series & parallel circuits, learning how to check for open or short circuits, electrical component recognition & learning to construct simple and complex circuitry.
