1A Introduction to Electrical

Course Description:

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.
