Electricians are trained to install and maintain residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems. As an apprentice in this program, you’ll learn key duties and responsibilities of an electrician that include blueprint reading, installation, maintenance, inspection, troubleshooting, compliance, and safety.

Experienced electricians may work with building engineers, architects, construction specialists, and other crew members to complete complex jobs.

This is a 720-hour program that prepares students for the rigors of state testing and fulfills state educational requirements. It is designed to complement on-the-job apprentice training through their employer, as they work alongside experienced electricians in the field.

MTECH does not provide on-the-job training, nor act as a sponsor for apprentices. Students are responsible for finding their own employment. All electricians must register with the Utah State Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL). For questions about registering as an apprentice or other state requirements, please contact DOPL.

Students enrolled in our traditional evening classes will complete school in four years, and will attend class twice a week during the fall and spring semesters. This program also offers daytime, accelerated classes. One semester in the daytime program is the equivalent of two semesters in the evening. Daytime classes only cover the first and second year curriculum; after that, students must transition into the evening classes.

Due to the high demand from employed adult apprentices, high school seniors are not eligible to enroll in evening classes.

I like the Electrical program here a lot. The teachers here are much more engaged than other programs my coworkers are going to and have used great material to teach with. MTECH also has great labs and equipment that has enhanced my learning experience. I don't regret coming here the last 4 years and would do it over again.
Dalyn Bergman
Overall it has been a great experience. I feel like the teachers genuinely care and want you to succeed in your field. The teachers work to teach to your understanding which is very important for most of us here. We are coming from many different backgrounds, so working with teachers that teach to your understanding helps a lot. Once again, overall a great experience.
Jens Higginson
The Electrical program has been great. The school has been awesome to work with. I live several hours away and am not able to make it in every night. With that said, the teachers have been very understanding and made it work for my schedule. In the end, you get out of it what you put into it.
