Unable to attend traditional classroom courses? No problem. The E Apprenticeship Four Year Program for Electrical Careers, hosted by IEC Chesapeake offers flexible online learning for students who:
- live too far away to commute to an IEC Chesapeake brick & mortar location
- have incompatible work schedules
- are in the National Guard or full time Military
- are otherwise unable to attend school in a traditional classroom environment
The E Apprenticeship program uses an integrated online training model so you can learn at your convenience—anytime, anywhere. This approach doesn’t eliminate the classroom; it offers a different delivery method for individuals who:
- wish to become an electrician
- are working with their employer to meet that goal
There are no restrictions on who can enroll in an apprenticeship program. You might:

- switch from a career that no longer feels right
People of all identities, backgrounds, and ages are welcome.
The program requires students to have a device capable of completing coursework—laptops, notebooks, or iPads are recommended. While phones can display some materials, they may not support all assignments as required.
