Earn While You Learn

Apprentices work full time and attend classed once or twice a week. Classes cover safety, electrical theory, circuitry, motors, generators, transformers and cabling.

Apprentices complement their classroom training with on-the-job training and work experience in such things as the installation and maintenance of residential, commercial, and/or industrial power distribution, control and utilization systems.

After completing IEC's 4-year apprentice training program and the required on-the-job training hours you'll have the 8,000 hours required to qualify for journeyman electrician licensing.

This is all being completed while you earn an income without the need for student loans.

With appropriate advanced training, work experience, and completion of an exam (depending on state requirements), you can become a master electrician, foreman, estimator or an electrical contractor.
