Module I provides students with technical instruction and practical experience in workplace safety, trade mathematics, fundamental electrical concepts, storage batteries in direct current (DC) circuits, Ohm’s Law, alternating current (AC), and resource management.
Module II introduces the student to the types of raceway’s fittings, anchor systems and boxes used in commercial and industrial installations. It will cover the typical hand and machine tools used to bend and install these raceway’s and the OSHA and NEC requirements necessary to ensure worker and customer safety. It will also cover the functions of blueprint drawings and prints.
Module III provides students with technical instruction and practical experience in electrical wiring and codes. It focuses on safety, permit requirements and code compliance, wiring design and protection, wiring materials and methods, equipment for general use, special occupancies, special equipment, special conditions, communication systems sanctioned by the National Electrical Code (NEC), and the interpretation of data found in the NEC tables. Heavy emphasis is placed on circuit design, practical wiring techniques and circuit logic. Sixty percent of the student’s time will be spent in hands-on labs designed for that very purpose; melding code requirements and practical wiring together.
