Electrician Apprentice

Electrician Apprentice

Construction

The Electrician Apprentice program is a 720-hour accredited program that fulfills the State's educational requirements to become a Journeyman Electrician. It also prepares students for the rigors of state testing. It is designed to complement the on-the-job training received through the students' employers as they work alongside electricians in the field. Students will learn skills to bring electricity into homes, businesses, and factories. Students will install and maintain the wiring, fuses, and other components through which electricity flows. Most electricians learn their trade through apprenticeship programs, and Davis Technical College offers one of the most respected. Because of the comprehensive training received, those who complete apprenticeship programs like the one at Davis Tech qualify to do maintenance and construction work. The Electrician Apprentice program lasts four years, with two courses per year. In the classroom, apprentices learn electrical theory, electrical-based mathematics, electrical code requirements, basic motor controls, grounding and bonding, and safety.

Apply to Electrician Apprentice

NOTE: The State of Utah requires electrical apprentices to have 576 classroom hours and 8,000 on-the-job training hours to become licensed Journeyman Electricians. Students also must pass the state Journeyman Electrician exam. Davis Technical College does not provide on-the-job training nor act as a sponsor for apprentices. Individuals are responsible for finding their own employment. Davis Tech suggests that students work as licensed apprentice electricians before beginning this program. All electricians must register with the Utah State Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL).
