Safety, Tools, and Basic Circuits
In Grade 9, students are introduced to the fundamental concepts of electricity, including safe work practices, proper tool use, and simple circuit theory.
In Grade 9, students are introduced to the world of electricity through hands-on learning and safety-first principles.
They learn how electrical energy works, how to use essential tools properly, and how to read simple circuit diagrams.
This foundational knowledge sets the stage for success in the following years.

By the end of Grade 9, students will:
Understand electrical safety protocols.
Identify common tools and their functions.
Build and test simple circuits using schematic diagrams.
Even as beginners, students start to see how electricians keep homes and businesses powered safely.
This year helps them build teamwork, responsibility, and problem-solving skills essential in every trade career.
