code class

[nevsquare]

I'd like to study in a code class but am weak in math, what would be good to start, maybe beginning algebra? Had it years ago in high school only. I get by as a helper but can't go beyond basic calculations and don't want to be just an installer forever. thanks for any advice.

There are a lot of basic calculations that require a basic manipulation of simple formulas. You should be comfortable with manipulating E=IR to I=E/R and working with fractions and decimals as a base. In other words, basic math is crucial in order to just get by. To excel, you need to pick up more.

You need to think where you want to be in the trade. A electrician doesn't really need to be able to do more than basic algebra. A engineer needs college level math, calc, trig and the list goes on to get a degree. You do need trig for complex conduit bending but it's going to be a rare thing. Most people do not want to pay for work of art conduit. Definetly learn basic algebra.
