Electronics Kit for L3 units UA33-FEP and UA56- EEP only You can source your own electronic parts, or purchase a kit from us (A list is shown in Moodle and can be ordered later when you are enrolled on your electronic unit) The kit includes a breadboard, battery holders, wires and all the electronic components needed to complete assessment tasks. Electronic components include a range of resistors, capacitors, inductors and timers. (It does not contain any instruments such as a multi-meter or oscilloscope; if required you will need to order these directly from an electronic parts supplier).
If enrolled before 1/11/25, e-kits need to be ordered by emailing admin@tecol.co.uk. They are then dispatched by electrical.team@tecol.co.uk after first course assessment has been completed. Best ordered before starting UA56, to allow time for its delivery before completing any assessments. The cost of the e-kit is £30 incl.p&p
If enrolled from 1/11/25, e-kits will be supplied free. They are dispatched by electrical.team@tecol.co.uk after an email request, but only when you actually start the EEP unit (UA56). Do not request, until you are starting UA56 as the contents can change (because assessments get regularly updated).
