All Trades Program

– Electrical Level One

Orientation to the Electrical Trade:

Skilled people in the electrical field are essential to maintain electrical systems and equipment in residential, commercial and industrial settings. Our training describes the various career paths in the Electrical industry. It also covers the apprenticeship requirements for electricians and discusses the employer/employee responsibilities.

Introduction to Electrical Circuits:

All kinds of instruments use electrical circuity to function. Our training discusses basic atomic theory and electrical theory, which are the fundamental concepts behind electricity in every setting. It also covers electrical units of measurement and explains how Ohm’s law and the power equation can be used to determine unknown values. This training also includes electrical schematic diagrams.

Electrical Theory:

Knowledge of electrical circuits is essential in the electrical field. Sound understanding of basic circuits, as well as the methods for calculating the electrical energy within them, forms the foundation for utilizing these principles in practical applications. Our training explains how to apply Ohm’s law to series, parallel and series parallel circuits. It also covers Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws.

Alternating Current:

The foundation for safe and successful electrical installation is a sound understanding of DC and AC electrical principles. AC Electricity also has a frequency component, so knowledge of AC waveforms and the effects of reactive and inductive components in a circuit is essential. Our training describes AC circuits and explains how to apply Ohm’s law to solve for unknown circuits values.

Introduction to the National Electrical Code:

The NEC is one of the most important tools for the electrician. When used together with the electrical code for your local area, the NEC provides the minimum requirements for the installation of electrical systems. Our training describes the purpose of the NEC and explains how to use it to find the installation requirements for various electrical devices and wiring methods. It also provides an overview of the National Electrical Manufactures Association and Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories.

Raceway and Fittings:

Electrical raceways present challenges and requirements involving proper installation techniques, general understanding of raceway systems, and applications of the NEC to raceway systems. Acquiring quality installation skills for raceway systems requires practice, knowledge, and training. Our training describes various types of raceway systems, along with their installation and NEC requirements. It also describes the use of various conduit bodies.

Device Boxes:

Electricians work with device boxes almost every day on every project, making a thorough understanding of the types of boxes available and their applications essential. Our training describes the various types of boxes and explains how to calculate the NEC fill requirements for outlet and junction boxes under 100 cubic inches (1,650 cubic centimeters).

Conductors and Cables:

As an Electrician, you will be required to select the proper wire and/or cable for a job. You will also be required to pull this wire or cable through conduit runs in order to terminate it. Our training discusses the conductor types, cable marking, color codes and ampacity derating. It also describes how to install conductors using fish tapes and power conduit fishing systems.
