Engineering

Light Current System

Every modern building runs on a layer most people never see: cameras, audio, access control, alarms, and the network tying them together. This course covers that layer end to end, rather than teaching one system in isolation. You'll work through sound systems (15 hrs), CCTV (9 hrs), networking fundamentals (6 hrs), Wi-Fi, access point, switch and rack selection (6 hrs), plus intercom, access control, nurse call, fire alarm and security alarm (3 hrs each). By the end you'll be able to read a drawing, specify the right equipment for a project, and understand how these systems integrate rather than just how each one works alone. Built for engineers and technicians moving into ELV work, and for recent graduates choosing a specialization. No prior experience with these systems required.

Smart Home Automation

Most smart home courses teach one standard and stop there. You finish able to install a system someone else designed, but not to decide which system a project actually needs. This one covers the whole field, in order, so that by the time you reach the professional tools you already understand where they fit and what they're competing with. Foundation (6 hours). How home automation developed into what it is today, and the three parts every control system is built from: sensors, actuators and controllers. Short section, but everything after it depends on getting this right. Arduino (15 hours). You build automation yourself, on your own board. This is where the field stops feeling like magic and starts feeling like logic, which is the point of putting it this early. The Wireless World (27 hours). Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE, then the mesh protocols that actually run most homes: Zigbee and Z-Wave. Then Thread and Matter, the push toward one common language across manufacturers. You'll also cover voice control with Google Assistant and Alexa, and work with hubs and ecosystems including Home Assistant. By the end of this section you can look at a project and know which protocol suits it. Professional KNX (41 hours). The largest part of the course. System design, topology, devices and telegrams, then hands-on programming in ETS6. It closes with a final project where you design a complete smart home from scratch. If you go on to sit KNX Basic afterwards, you'll be well prepared for it. Who it's for Students and recent graduates entering the field, and technicians already doing installation work who want to move into design and specification. No prior experience needed. Basic electrical knowledge helps but isn't required.
