Coursework

Two students in electrical class

Students will attend a three-block session every other day and earn three credits. All students are instructed in accordance with NCCT guidelines or classroom theory and hands-on lab activities.

Starting in the 2024–2025 school year, students will complete both Electricity I and Electricity II in one school year.

Electricity I/Electricity II

In this one year program, students will specialize in all aspects of electricity including: electrical theory; interpreting, drawing, and wiring series and parallel circuits; installing conductors, conduit, raceways, and switchboards; learning how to read and utilize the NEC code book; understanding and utilizing electrical specific tools and materials; and effective communication on a construction site. Students will be instructed utilizing the NCCER Apprenticeship post-secondary education curriculum. If a student passes all assessments within the Core and Electricity modules, they will complete one year of the NCCER post-secondary apprenticeship education program and earn one high school industry credential. Students will also be provided with the opportunity to obtain CPR/First Aid and OSHA 10 certification. Students may have the opportunity to take part in a work-based learning experience during their senior year, after completion of this program. At the completion of the program, students will be prepared to enter electrical apprenticeships and/or other careers in the electrical field.
