Hunter the traditional career path for electricians is through apprenticeship programs, which provide an education and a monetary stipend. In addition to a high school diploma or GED, applicants over 18 years of age must pass an aptitude and drug test. Apprenticeship programs typically last four years and include 2,000 hours of paid work experience and 600 hours of classroom instruction. As graduates of apprenticeship programs, electricians are given the designation of journeymen and are qualified to work without supervision.
Candidates who hold a high school diploma or the equivalent might apply to become apprentices through various unions, such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers or the National Electrical Contractors Association. Completion of these four-year programs allows apprentices to become journeymen and work on both construction and repair projects. Once enrolled, you'll study various aspects of electrical work, such as theory and electrical code standards. Generally, one year of algebra is required to enter apprenticeship programs. Students in postsecondary training programs may consider taking additional math courses since they may be useful.
