1A Introduction to Electrical

Electricians install and maintain electrical systems in homes, businesses, and factories. All buildings have an electrical system installed during construction and maintained after that. Electricians do both the installing and maintaining of these electrical systems. Electricians read blueprints, which are technical diagrams of electrical systems that show the location of circuits, outlets, and other equipment.
They use different types of hand and power tools, such as pipe benders, to run and protect wiring.This program will satisfy the educational requirements to take the State Journeyman Exam. The Electrical Apprentice Program is composed of two parts: (1) on-the-job training and (2) classroom/lab instruction. An outside sponsor (employer) who exposes the apprentice to practical applications in all areas of trade provides the on the-job training.

Electrician Apprentice program students must work at least part-time for an electrical company, and be supervised by a Master or Journeyman Electrician. However, unemployed first year students may register for courses if there is space available.

Obtain Apprentice Electrician License (see application for apprentice electrician license below). This license must be obtained before being admitted to the second course.
