Need to train up some electrical noobs

[Z]

I have in my team (facilities management) a couple of people who have no
electrical or craft background.
I want to put together a curriculum to pass on some electrical theory so
they can handle repair of electrical faults. Passing on the craft skills
is an easier matter but they will need some electrical knowledge too.

I'm not an educator so where do I start in teaching them the
fundamentals of electrical craft theory.

Any ideas where to start please?

Yes. Hire qualified electricians you weasily cheapskate, and don't dice with
others' safety.

Look for your local technical college which does the City & Guilds
electrical courses. A good simple starting point would be the PAT
testing courses and exams, which take 2 days, and are intended to
be achievable by non-electricians. The prerequisits would be the
ability to wire a plug correctly, and knowing the difference
between megohms and milliohms. After that, you could move on to
the 16th edition regs, and possibly even Part 1 -- talk this
through with the college. These can often be done as either day
release, or night classes.

However, note that if they really have no electrical background,
they won't get very far without working under the supervision of
someone who has, and doing that only in the classroom is going
to be rather unsatisfactory, long winded, and expensive.

Repair faults WHERE? What are the licensing and certification
requirements for such work?

There must be some trade schools over there that can offer the
curriculum needed. But first, make sure you understand what the legal
requirements are.
