Yes. Employers in that particular field will have access to that training.

The cheap training you are after will be very expensive in the long run. What you will have to understand is that the seemingly more expensive training course or university study pertaining the matter will get you further with less of the obvious mistakes that one makes when getting cheap to begin with.

Do it properly and not cheap. Its nothing to mess around if it is for a production facility.

If in doubt ask your boss if a production loss of the company of say a couple of days has any impact on the bottom line. Think cheap - better think twice!

Sorry this is all my common sense I am not trained in the matter and cant advice on any training material.

Oh one last thing you sould be able to find cheap in the internet. Did you look somewhere already???

You might contact ravinder_skzr, or netfreak . They seem to think that they have found a good source for free tutoring.

There are short courses you can do but you have to be electrically-qualified and experienced to get the most out of them, along with being able to physically get to them. You will still be paying thousands of dollars (USD) for a 2 or 3 day course by the way.

What country are you in?
