Control and wiring training

hello all

I am trying to educate one of my employees on the control wiring aspect. I think some training would help. Can anyone recommend some residential hydronic controls training. I have provided Siggys manuals and constant hands on training but I thing a class might help.
thanks jeffrey

    Maybe a good book on basic electricity to start. If you don't understand basic electricity understanding controls and wiring may be a significantly harder challenge. Fundamentals first.

    The Taco Zone Control Wiring Guide can help along with a teacher to show your student what happens on a call for heat.

    if you need basic electricity and electronics, the arrl has taken up publishing most of those books that the various technical publishers used to publish.
