Electrical Apprenticeship Programs

The Future Looks Bright

Employment opportunities are excellent for qualified electricians. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for electricians is expected to grow by an impressive 20% through 2022, significantly exceeding the national average for all occupations. Electricians also earn high hourly wages and experienced professionals are always in demand. Those who complete apprenticeship often move quickly up the career ladder and many even operate their own businesses. Are your ready to forge your successful career as an electrician? You’ve come to the right place, because IEC Chesapeake makes it easy.

Our “earn while you learn” apprenticeship programs give you the competitive edge. For over 40 years, IEC Chesapeake has been turning out the finest electricians in the workforce. We offer apprenticeships, an “earn while you learn” form of education that combines workplace learning with related technical classroom education. Our programs are taught at a state-of-the-art training facility by committed, knowledgeable instructors using an interactive format that offers opportunities for mentorship as well as learning. Are you unable to attend traditional in-person classes due to your location, work schedule, or other reason? No problem! We also offer the online apprenticeship programs so you can train at your own convenience, from anywhere. In person or online, IEC Chesapeake’s Electrical Apprenticeship programs offer an exciting and unique training experience that build lifelong skills of the trade and give you an advantage in the job market.

A rewarding new career is at your fingertips. IEC Chesapeake currently offers the following programs:

Electricians are among the highest paid workers in the construction sector.

A degree from IEC Chesapeake is your ticket to success. That’s why we enroll over 450 apprentices each year at our seven training locations, and our online programs include students across the U.S. and abroad.

Is apprenticeship right for you?

With a growing shortage of qualified electrical and low voltage workers and plenty of job opportunities available, it’s a great time to join the electrical, low voltage, and renewable energy industries.

IEC Apprentice Graduates

Enroll in an IEC Chesapeake apprentice training program and earn while you learn!

IEC Apprenticeship Training Programs combine the on-the-job training and formal related technical instruction you need to prepare you for this in-demand field. That means you get paid to work while you receive a top-notch education. Where else can you do that?

Apprenticeship: The Other Four-Year Degree

Did you know that it takes an electrician four years to complete his or her program, the same as a traditional degree? And a Master Electrician trains as long as doctor studies, requiring least eight years on the job and the four years of classroom study. As with many professions, electricians must also be licensed. So let’s take a look at both options, using 2018-2019 University of Maryland data for comparison:

COST CATEGORIESTRADITIONAL UNIVERSITYIEC CHESAPEAKE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM
Annual Tuition & Mandatory Fees*$10,595 – $35,216
(resident vs. non-resident)
$4,012
On Campus Resident Hall Room, Cable & Phone$7,425N/A
Meal Plan (Average)$5,004N/A
Books & Supplies**$1,250N/A
Local Transportation & Incidental Costs**$2,522N/A
TOTAL 4 YEAR COST$107,184 – $140,864
(resident vs. non-resident)
$16,048

The best educational bargain around.

Let’s face it—college is expensive, and it’s not for everyone. At a traditional university, four years of undergraduate study costs Maryland residents more than $100,000. Students may or may not have a job during this time, and even if they do, it’s not likely to be in their field of study. Upon graduation, it often takes a year or more to find suitable employment. The typical graduate also carries massive school loan debt, ranging from $15,000 to as much as $100,000.

There’s a better alternative. In stark contrast, IEC Chesapeake apprentices pay just $13,960 for all four years of school and they work for the duration. In fact, many apprentices are employed by our association member electricians. Some members even offer reimbursement programs based on their performance and grades. As a result, many apprentices’ school expenses are entirely reimbursed! Graduates of the IEC Apprenticeship Program leave school gainfully employed, earning $40,000 – $80,000 per year on average, with no school debts to carry. It doesn’t get much better than that!


Easy and free way for apprentices to receive their college credits.

  • Official transcripts are now free for apprentices through the new platform
  • Simplified application, now one-page (attached for reference)
  • Apprentices now complete the application (with chapter verification) and submit directly to IEC National (reducing chapter administrative work)
  • Apprentices can apply for college credits for each year they complete….meaning they don’t have to wait until they graduate to get their credits for the year they just completed

Apprenticeship Overview

Why should I become an electrician?

Are you interested in pursuing a career where you can work with your hands, encounter versatile and challenging tasks, and enjoy high compensation and job security? With a growing shortage of qualified electrical workers, it has never been a better time to join the electrical industry. There are plenty of job opportunities available in this high demand field. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), electricians will have a 23 percent growth rate between 2010 and 2020, which is higher than the national average! Electricians are among the highest paid jobs in the construction sector, according to the U.S. News “Best Construction Jobs” Rankings.

What is Apprenticeship?

As published on the Maryland DLLR Website, “apprenticeships are jobs. The apprentice works full time and receives training from the sponsoring organization. […] Apprenticeships are designed to meet the workforce needs of the sponsors. Because of a need for highly skilled workers many sponsors use apprenticeship as a method to train employees in the knowledge necessary to become a skilled worker.”

The IEC Apprenticeship Program is a combination of classroom and on-the-job training over a four-year (three-year for Low-Voltage) period of time. The program is designed to provide the apprentice with the necessary theory and practical training to earn the status of electrician.

What Apprenticeship Programs does IEC Chesapeake offer?

IEC Chesapeake currently offers a 4-year Electrical program and a 3-year Telecommunications Technician program. Contact us for more information about our programs.

4-Year Electrical

  • Traditional Classroom Instruction
  • Our oldest and most populated program, the IEC Chesapeake 4-Year Electrical Apprenticeship Program is powered by the IEC National Curriculum. Our program has the distinction of being one of few programs that focuses heavily on solar and other renewable energies in the 4th year.
  • Most of our students enroll with the ambition of earning their Journeyman or Master Electricians License, and many of our students go on to become Project Managers, Foremen, Estimators, and upper management.

3-Year Telecommunications Technician

  • Live Online Web-casting
  • A BICSI-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.
  • 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.

Web-Based Online Electrical Program (E Apprenticeship)

  • Our E Apprenticeship (Online) Electrical Program is designed to allow flexibility for students who live too far away to commute, or who are currently assigned to evening or overnight work.
  • This 4-year, web-based program uses an integrated training model to train online at your convenience. As a state approved sponsor in DC, MD and VA*, the Online Electrical Apprenticeship Program through IEC Chesapeake will meet the same Department of Labor requirements as the traditional live classes
  • To be considered for an Online Program, a student must live more than 45 miles away from the nearest IEC Chesapeake classroom training site or must be maintaining a work schedule that precludes them from classroom training. To be considered for an Online Program, all applicants must include a letter from their employer recommending them for the program.

What is the curriculum for each program?

What are the minimum requirements to become an Apprentice?

All Apprentices:

  • Must be at least 18 years old, or have the permission of a legal guardian
  • Must have graduated high school, or earned their GED
  • Must have a valid State Driver’s License
  • Must have internet access, and a valid email address.
  • Must be able to pass a basic Math and Reading Assessment
  • Must be able to work independently, and as a member of a team

Why do you require all apprentices to have internet access?

In an effort to streamline processes and go greener as an organization, most all IEC Chesapeake correspondence is digital. This includes tuition invoices, school schedules, and other essential communication. You are also required to submit your On the Job Training (OJT) hours online. Homework, quizzes, worksheets and tests are also completed in the IEC learning management system which requires a laptop or tablet is brought to class and used at home.

It is required that all students have regular access to the internet for these reasons. If you do not have internet access at home, we suggest utilizing local libraries, or discussing the matter with your employer.

How often will Apprentices attend class?

To complete the program, students must attend 151 hours of classroom instruction per year. This typically means two 3.5 hour sessions a week, or one 4 hour session depending on the program and location.

Apprentices receive their entire classroom schedule at the start of the year.

Do Apprentices just sit in class all the time??

Absolutely not! The IEC Chesapeake program utilizes hands-on training as much as possible to supplement the classroom curriculum. Just take a look at some of the videos from our year-one students participating in a hands-on lab!

The IEC Chesapeake curriculum is a combination of the most innovative and comprehensive training programs in the country. It emphasizes a hands-on learning experience in conjunction with traditional classwork, utilizing purpose-built labs that give your employees a true real-world experience in the classroom.

Our curriculum exposes students to new and changing technologies in renewable energy, and features numerous third-party presentations from manufacturers and other vendors to provide students with a thorough understanding of the products they use in the field.

Is all classroom time dedicated to learning from a book?

No! Whenever possible, we incorporate our Associate Partners into the curriculum, bringing manufacturing and distribution representatives to teach apprentices about products they will commonly be using in the field. 

Not only does it give our students an in-depth look at current and evolving technologies, it also promotes engagement by bring in new and different personalities to teach on different subjects.

What do the lab facilities look like?

So glad you asked. Please take a moment and watch a quick video tour of one of our facilities.

Is the Curriculum State and Federally Approved??

Yes! The IEC Chesapeake curriculum is Federally Approved, and recognized by Maryland, D.C., and Virginia.

Does an Apprentice get their Journeyman’s License upon completion of the program?

The IEC Chesapeake curriculum is designed to give students the necessary foundation to pass their Journeyman’s exam.

In general, Apprentices do not receive their Journeyman’s license without completing and recording 8000 on-the-job training hours, and passing the Journeyman’s Exam.

However, different jurisdictions have different rules. Apprentices that complete the program as registered students are eligible to receive a journeyman’s license in D.C., and Maryland without the need to take an exam. Other jurisdictions require an exam and other qualifications may apply.

Is the program easy?

We are up-front here at IEC Chesapeake. When you enter into an Apprenticeship Program, you are looking at 3 to 4 years of working full-time and attending class in the evenings. It is not an easy path by any means, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We find that our graduates leave the program with more confidence and self-awareness, most having been challenged to maintain a rigorous work and training schedule with the demands of their personal lives.

Graduates leave the program knowing what they’re capable of accomplishing. Moreover, as an IEC Chesapeake graduate entering into a booming market, you have proven your dedication to your trade, and shown yourself to be a valuable asset to the industry.

Where will Apprentices go to class?

Apprentices are given the choice between our training locations based upon where they live. Apprentices must attend a physical classroom location, unless they qualify for the online program.

Once the Apprentice chooses a location, they are required to stay at that location for the entire school year. Students may request a change to their training location prior to a new school year.

How many training locations does IEC Chesapeake have?

IEC Chesapeake has training facilities throughout Maryland, DC, Virginia and through E Apprenticeship (online).

See all of our locations here.

How do Apprentices qualify for E Apprenticeship classes?

Our Online Programs are designed to allow flexibility for students who live too far away to commute, or who are currently assigned to evening or overnight work.

To be considered for an Online Program, a student must live more than 45 miles away from the nearest IEC Chesapeake classroom training site or must be maintaining a work schedule that precludes them from classroom training. To be considered for an Online Program, all applicants must include a letter from their employer recommending them for the program.

Employment

How does IEC Chesapeake help unemployed Apprentices find work?

We do not “place” students with employers.

Once accepted into the program, IEC Chesapeake will provide a list of its Contractor Partners who are currently hiring. While we will offer tips to better prepare the apprentice in the interview process, it is the apprentice’s responsibility to contact potential employers and set up interviews.

Out-of-Work Apprentices will also be listed on our own internal list, which is accessible to our contractor members. When hiring, it is possible that a contractor will reach out to names on this list to set up interviews.

We ask that when a student finds employment, they notify our office so we can take them off the Out-Of-Work Apprentice list.

Can an Apprentice start the program without being employed by a contractor?

Let us be very clear: we strongly recommend that all students be employed full-time prior to class starting in order to gain the most from the experience.

However, economic issues can play a role in an Apprentice’s ability to find employment. Provided the Apprentice has made a good-faith effort to find employment, they are not required to employed by a contractor at the time they start the program.

However, all first-year apprentices must find full-time employment within 1 calendar year of being accepted into the program in order to continue attending class.

What happens if an Apprentice is terminated during the program?

If, for whatever reason, an Apprentice is terminated or laid-off while attending an IEC Chesapeake apprenticeship program, they will be given the same resources as a first-year apprentice to aid in finding new employment. In addition to being directed to other IEC Chesapeake members who are currently hiring, they will also be placed on the Out-Of-Work Apprentice list.

All students who are terminated, or are laid-off while enrolled at IEC Chesapeake have 1 calendar year from their termination date to find new employment.

We ask that when a student finds employment, they notify our office so we can take them off the Out-Of-Work Apprentice list.
