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.
UTAH SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION (USHE) DESCRIPTION:
The Electrical Apprenticeship program provides a solid understanding of the National Electrical Code (NEC), its layout, the requirements for different electrical systems, and the components of those systems. This program discusses the risks involved with electricity and electrical systems as well as the safety equipment and measures that are in place to protect electricians and the general public alike.
Upon completion of the program, students are prepared to take the Electrical Journeyman exam.
Registration Opens: July 17, 2024 (August start date), November 20, 2024 (January start date)
Minimum Age Requirement: 17 years old
Evening Classes: Open to adults who are currently employed as electrical apprentices. Prospective adult students that are not current electrical apprentices are only allowed to enroll two business days prior to the start date, on a space available basis.
Daytime Classes: These classes are accelerated, and are available to adults and high school seniors. There is no employment prerequisite for the daytime classes. However, students must be employed as an electrical apprentice prior to the start of third year classes. Only the first and second years of the program are available during the day, and all students will move to evening classes for the remainder of their programs.
