Your School Starts Here

Electrical work is the backbone of a functioning society. Electricians are those who install, connect, perform maintenance, and test out wiring systems such as power, lighting, and security systems. Our electrical program focuses not only on these important skills, but it aims to create skilled electricians who look out for the safety of their clients. Students receive tablets and textbooks to aid them while finishing their online courses before becoming an apprentice through on-the-job training. The program aims to build student awareness on workforce hazards, skilled electrician techniques, tool safety, electrical codes, and proper terminology.

Throughout the program, students study basic electrical and safety information along with specific tool safety, electrical box instruction, and a guide on electrical codes and symbols. Each course includes several lessons with slideshows, videos, and practice questions to advance their knowledge before taking a quiz that allows them to pass the course. Students with high motivation, determination, and the ability to succeed move on from the online courses to a paid, on-the-job training program to get them integrated in the workforce of their choice.
