Amped Up, brought to you by National Electrotechnical Training (NET), gives you a fun look at what tasks you’ll need to carry out as an electrician. Designed for complete beginners and those already in the industry, the game has two levels: • Beginners can work through a series of simple tasks to get the electrical circuit up and running again. Prompts and on-screen guidance will help you through each stage. • Electrical apprentices can brush up on the skills and knowledge needed throughout their apprenticeship such as safe isolation, protective devices, Ohm’s law and R1 + R2 testing. Can you make it onto the leaderboard? See how you score and compare with your friends. This game is just for fun! It’s not an exact simulation of electrical installation techniques and tasks have been adapted for gameplay purposes.
