Semester I
Electricity Theory I (Tier 1) 1ELT01 200 hours
This course covers the two modules required by the Electricity board to complete the first 150 hours of tier 1. Included in Module I is jobsite and electrical safety, introduction to the NEC and Process, DC/Alarm Theory and Basic Math. Module II covers Electrical Bonding and Grounding, Low Voltage Systems and Controls, Fire Warning and Security Systems, Design and Testing (NFPA 72).
In addition, students will learn about the fundamental circuits and how to correctly apply them. They will develop an understanding of the terminology used in the field. A focus is the development and interpretation of wiring diagrams, and understanding of the stock required and the development of the stock list for each project.
Safety 1ELT02 15 hours
Students will be oriented to safe practices in the shop and with all equipment at tools. At the completion of this course students will obtain the OSHA 10 certification.
Electricity Applications I 1ELT08 220 hours
The project-based course provides students with the opportunity to apply theory to practice. Through this course, students will develop the skills required to complete the basic installation of electrical power in a residence. Students will actively wire receptacles, switches, and lights, adhering to the required of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Job Readiness 1ELT08 15 hours
