Reviews

Mike James: 'It seems very well matched to the level 2 progression award. The style of writing is very lucid and the layout is easy on the eye. It is a very broad syllabus which manages to have every element mentioned in the book. There is a lot of material on health and safety which correctly reflects the amount of work required in the units.' ...this text gives a thorough grounding in the electronics and electrical principles required by service engineers. -Poptronics, July 2002
