OPEN COURSE →
BAS-104◆ Interactive lab

Sensors, Actuators & Field Devices

Field devices are the hands and senses of the BAS. This course teaches you what each one does, how it speaks, and how to match it to a controller.

OPEN COURSE →
BAS-105◆ Interactive lab

Reading Control & Mechanical Drawings

Drawings are how the trade thinks on paper. Learn to navigate a set and you can walk onto any job and find any answer — without asking anyone.

OPEN COURSE →
BAS-106

Jobsite Safety, Tools & Professionalism

The trade runs on three things this course teaches: going home whole every day, tools that tell the truth, and a reputation people want to hire.

OPEN COURSE →
BAS-107

Nothing here is beyond middle-school math — but on the job it moves fast, in fractions and units, with money attached. This course makes it automatic.

OPEN COURSE →
BAS-108

Electrical Safety: NFPA 70E, Arc Flash & Lockout/Tagout

This is the most important course in the program. Everything else we teach assumes you survive your career.
