Electrical systems today are more complex than ever, and ensuring their reliability, safety, and performance requires more than a basic multimeter. “Beyond the Multimeter” is a comprehensive, hands-on training course specifically designed for electrical contractors who are ready to elevate their testing capabilities and gain confidence working with advanced electrical diagnostic tools.
This course goes far beyond the fundamentals, offering in-depth instruction and practical experience with specialized electrical testing equipment, including insulation resistance testers (Meggers), contact resistance testers (ductors), high-voltage insulation testers (Hi-Pot testers), and ground resistance testers. Participants will not only learn how to operate each piece of equipment properly, but also understand the theory behind each test, how to safely apply them in the field, and how to interpret the results to make informed maintenance and safety decisions.
The training emphasizes real-world applications and troubleshooting scenarios that electrical professionals commonly encounter in industrial, commercial, and utility environments. Whether verifying the integrity of insulation, ensuring the quality of electrical connections, or confirming the effectiveness of grounding systems, participants will gain practical skills that directly translate to increased system uptime, reduced risk of failure, and improved compliance with industry regulations.
Through live demonstrations, guided exercises, and interactive instruction, learners will develop a strong working knowledge of critical testing procedures and best practices. The course also covers essential safety protocols that must be followed when working with high-voltage systems and sensitive components, helping contractors minimize hazards while maximizing equipment performance.
By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped to confidently integrate these advanced testing techniques into their daily workflow, improving the quality and reliability of their installations and maintenance programs. "Beyond the Multimeter" is not just a training session—it's a step toward becoming a more capable, informed, and safety-conscious electrical professional.

Nathan Janz, Inter Pipeline LtdNorm was very knowledgeable. He would throw in an example or have a story about a job he had done, which had helped me understand the material we were going through.
-
Shawn Thistle, Syncrude CanadaNorm was great, a very knowledgeable guy, and answered questions with relatable stories.
-
Zach Heisinger, Maka PowerI was very green on all things to do with this course. Norm provides a very good understanding of not only why we are testing but also how each machine works. I feel very confident I will be able to further my knowledge of this with more practice with our own equipment in the shop.
