Should YOU Be a Part of It?
LIVE ONLINE WEB-CASTING
A State and Federal-recognized program, our Telecommunications Technician 3-Year Apprenticeship program prepares students to excel in low-voltage applications. The Live Online Web-casting format was developed to meet the unique needs of Low-Voltage contractors who regularly move their employees, which makes it difficult to participate in a traditional classroom-based program.
Classes are taught by experienced, engaging instructors who encourage students to participate as they would in the classroom. To ensure students are receiving the necessary hands-on training, we require our apprentices to complete labs and skills training under the supervision of a Journeyman or Foreman on the job site.
New and returning (more than four years) participating employers may be eligible to receive $1,325 in tuition rebate. Maryland employers may also qualify for matching funds: https://www.dllr.state.md.us/employment/mbw.shtml
Students are eligible to apply to take the BICSI level one exam at the end of their second year, and can apply to take the level two exam at the end of their third year (pending approval).
