FIRST TIME STUDENTS:

The Electrical Technology Program is approved by the California Apprenticeship Council. In order to work, students must maintiain enrollment in a minimum of 150 hours of classes per year. This is the equivalent of two 3 hours classes per semester.

We have a day and a night program. The content is the same, the night program has been broken into smaller pieces to allow for full time day work and part time night school.

For the night program, the first class to take is ELECT 202, Electrical Math. If you have completed a college level algebra class, this class can be skipped, but you must provide your transcripts of the class to obtain credit and approval to take further classes.

Concurrent with ELECT 202, students can enroll in ELECT 253 OSHA 30 Construction Safety Certification. This class requires 100% attendence.

Students may start the night program in either the Fall or Spring Semesters.

Next in the list is ELECT 204 & ELECT 210A Lecture and Lab.

For the day program, students enroll in ELECT 200A and ELECT 253. The start point for the day program is in the Fall semester only.
