Our Program
Mastering the theory and application of electrical concepts is necessary for a successful career in the electrical installation or industrial maintenance fields. Designed to train aspiring electricians, this course blends concepts relating to electrical theory and principles with practical ‘how to’ information that prepares students for situations commonly encountered on the job. Topics span all the major aspects of the electrical field including atomic structure and basic electricity, direct and alternating current, basic circuit theory, three-phase circuits, single phase, transformers, generators, and motors.
Participants will start with a fifty-two (52) week pre-apprenticeship program; during this time they will be registered as a 1st year journeyman and placed with a licensed trades person / company.
Total program durations are 3 to 7 years with (3) three in-school sessions.

Your Career
An electrician installs wiring, fuses and other electrical components in homes, businesses and factories. He or she also maintains that equipment. In addition to working with high voltage wiring, many electricians install and maintain voice, data and video wiring. An electrician can specialize in either maintenance or construction but many work in both areas .
