Led by a Schneider Electric specification engineer, the five CPD courses now on offer provide theory and practical examples for the specification market, to help hone skills and knowledge within the profession. Topics range from cable management, the latest addition, to an overview of the plug-in vehicle market and charging infrastructure or even lighting control solutions.
