MCTC's Construction Electricity Program will train you to install and repair electrical wiring and systems in commercial, industrial and residential buildings.
You will learn electrical theory as you perform hands-on practical laboratory exercises. You will make electrical connections; install different types of wiring used in the trade; and develop a strong basic knowledge of transformers, motors and control systems.
MCTC's experienced instructors will give you extensive training in advanced motor control, conduit installation and bending techniques, and wiring practices. They also will emphasize special features of commercial electrical systems and show you how to use diagnostic procedures to determine what causes electrical failures.
To participate in the program, you must have above average manual dexterity, be able to lift 60 pounds, have excellent mathematics skills, and be comfortable with moderate heights. All program participants must purchase approximately $250 in hand tools.
During the first year of the program you will take the same courses as students in the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Program, which will give you valuable HVACR training. It also will give you the opportunity to complete both the HVACR and the Construction Electricity programs in just three years.
