Becoming an Electrician
We do not offer training to become an electrician, or to acquire your electricians’ license. Our training is designed for personnel that are not electricians or are already electricians that just need expertise in a certain electrical area. Here are some organizations that will help you understand how to become an electrician. Keep in mind that every state has its own licensing requirements so you will need to contact a NJATC training center or a technical school in the state you want to be licensed in.
National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee The finest electrical workers in the country receive their electrician training through the NJATC of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). It's an education partnership which produces the best electrical apprentices and journeymen in the country.
