Electrical Technology is a program that allows you to earn a diploma in 12 months. You need to furnish your own safety glasses. You also must furnish a complete hand tool set. Your tools must meet minimum requirements set by your instructors and department head. It is your responsibility to purchase your own tools.
Many local vendors offer student discounts.
You must have tools or a proof of purchase agreement by the end of the fifth week. The objective is to provide technical knowledge and experience in residential and commercial wiring phases of the electrical industry. Training is in basic electricity, blueprint reading, motors, motor controls, programmable logic controls, fiber optics and the National Electrical Code. Students experience hands-on work, including actual residential and commercial wiring installation. Successful completion of the electrical program may enable students to obtain one year of credit toward a journeyman s license.
