NFPA 70e -Electrical Safety Work Related Practices
2020-03-23 17:00 - 20:00, 2019-11-05 17:30 - 20:30
In this course, electrical workers examine electrical safety related work practice requirements for industrial and commercial electrical installations. Using a combination of lessons, NFPA 70e and OSHA sections and labs, students explore all facets of electrical safety related work practices. Students are introduced to a variety of real world applications requiring a fundamental understanding of electrical theory, codes, safety, and installation practices. Topics include electrical safety culture, hazard awareness, NFPA 70e concepts, training requirements, working on or near live parts, approach boundaries, PPE selection, short circuit calculations and implementation.
Prerequisite: Completion of AC Theory
Length: 2 nights (6 hours)

BICSI Fiber
2020-03-17 17:00 - 20:00
This course sets the groundwork for optical fiber-based structured cabling system installation. It starts with an overview of fiber transmission principles, professionalism, life safety and industry best practices, as related to fiber. A significant amount of course time will be spent on installation, splicing, termination, testing and retrofitting of optical fiber cable. Additional topics covered include pathways and spaces, firestopping and an introduction to field coordination
Prerequisite: BICSI Installer Level 2 Copper
Length: 8 weeks (16 nights)

BICSI Technician
2020-03-16 17:00 - 20:00
Students learn “best practice” procedures for the installation of structured cabling systems. Course objectives include the understanding of installation foundations; safety procedures; cabling, pathways and spaces; bonding, grounding and electrical protection; firestopping; retrofits and upgrades; data centers; healthcare; planning and project management; and other specific applications. At the conclusion of this course, the apprentice will be prepared to sit for the BICSI Technician Certification exam.
Prerequisite: BICSI Installer Level 2 Copper And Fiber Optics
LENGTH: 8 weeks (16 nights)

BICSI Copper
2020-03-16 17:00 - 20:00
This entry-level course sets the foundation of a copper-based structured cabling system installation. It begins with an overview of copper transmission principles, professionalism, life safety and general industry best practices as related to copper. A significant amount of course time will then be spent on BICSI best practices for the installation, termination, testing and retrofitting of copper cable. Additional topics covered will include BICSI best practices for pathways and spaces; grounding, bonding and protection; and firestopping.
Prerequisite: The ETC does not require a prerequisite for this course. However, individuals preparing to sit for the BICSI ITS Installer 2, Copper exam must possess at least one year of current and verifiable information technology systems industry installation experience.
Length: 8 weeks (16 nights)
