Looking for a job with career growth? The skills you will learn are in high demand and can be applied in all areas of electrical installation. Electricians are a highly skilled trade and have high job security and high job growth, and you do not need a college degree. Our General Electrician program is state-approved and is a 2-semester program. Electrical trainees are not the same as apprentices. The difference between an apprentice and a trainee is that an apprenticeship program may last between three to four years. An electrical trainee can register for an ET card and then can work full or part-time on the job supervised under a licensed electrician. Our Residential Electrical Wiring course is a great introduction to the electrical field. High school students and adults will gain practical experience in electrical wiring and codes. Sixty percent of the student’s time will be spent in hands-on labs placing heavy emphasis on circuit design, practical wiring techniques, and circuit logic.
