Areas of Study

Coursework areas from the Herzing College program. Studied, not offered as services — each area below opens its own study-notes page.

The Three Areas

How I Study

Every area follows the same discipline: learn the standard first, then the procedure, then the tool — and verify the result before calling it done. The references that anchor all three areas are the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1, including Section 60 for communication systems and Section 8 for demand and service calculations), the TIA-568 structured cabling standards, and the BICSI manuals for installation practice.

Safety is not a separate subject here; it runs through all three areas. Lockout/Tagout before touching equipment, Working at Heights rules on ladders and platforms, testing before touching a conductor, and respecting laser safety around optical fiber are habits, not footnotes. The full list of regulators and safety authorities sits on the resources page.
