A one-week electrical certification training programme, which brought together unlicensed electricians in Lethem and Mabaruma, Region One, recently concluded.
Held by the Hinterland Electrification Company Inc. (HECI) in collaboration with the Guyana Electrical Inspectorate (GEI), a release noted that the training programme, which attracted a total of 28 persons—18 in Lethem and 10 in Mabaruma—will bring the workers to a level where they can apply for their electrical licences, and prepare them to be part of a sponsored project being facilitated by the Guyana Energy Agency.
Areas taught during the programme included electricity basics, personal protective equipment, general electrical requirements and practical designing of a model domestic installation, amongst others.
The training was facilitated by Electrical Engineer Kevin Vickarie; Abina Drakes, Project Assistant; Shamar Adams, Electrical Technician; and Stephen Williams, Electrical Inspector.
