Prospective Students
An electrician is a highly skilled tradesperson, who combines electrical theory, knowledge of electrical equipment, and the necessary job skills to safely and correctly perform services which enable consumers to utilize electrical, low voltage and renewable energy for such purposes as lighting, heating, operation of electrical equipment, motor control systems and appliances. Our intensive four year apprenticeship training program is designed to provide an electrical apprentice with the necessary theory and practical training to earn the status of electrician.
The Voice, Data, Video apprenticeship is designed to prepare the apprentice to take the Level I, II, and III BICSA certification exams. The IEC Voice-Data-Video (VDV) Apprenticeship Program is based on a six-semester curriculum that is typically delivered over three years. The apprenticeship program requires 2,000 hours per year in on-the-job training and a minimum of 144 hours per year in class.
These programs are a combination of classroom and on-the-job apprenticeship training over a three or four-year period of time. On-line classes are also available for electrical programs. To complete the program, students must attend classroom instruction and complete on-the-job training. Those apprentices, who satisfactorily complete the requirements, will be certified by the Apprenticeship and Training Committee. This committee sponsors, supervises and regulates the program. At the end of training, the apprentice receives a Certificate of Completion from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.
