This 12-week, full-time program is designed to offer an alternate route to those looking to enter the Electrician trade. If you are struggling to find an employer willing to indenture you as an Electrician apprentice, this program may be right for you. This program covers all course materials received by a first-year Electrician apprentice, as well as additional basic wiring skills and safety training. The program prepares students to enter into an apprenticeship with hands-on skills and, upon successful completion of the program, to challenge the first year Electrician apprenticeship exam.
