This is the first module of The Electrical Trades Center two-module hands-on cable splicing course. The course provides instruction in different types of cable, specialty tools and materials used in medium to high voltage work (typically 2,000 to 35,000 volts). Cable end preparation is covered and general safety practices will be discussed. This is a hands on course, and all participants will construct several hand-taped 5KV and 15 KV splices and terminations. Materials are presented from many different manufacturers of cable splicing materials.

  • Prerequisite: Journeyman wireman
  • Length: 8 Weeks (16 nights)

This is the second module of The Electrical Trades Center two-module hands-on cable splicing course. This course introduces students to several methods of terminating cable, tee splices and protective grounds. It expands on information learned and practiced in Module I. Hands-on exercises include construction of a 5KV and 15KV termination and 15KV tee splice. Materials are presented from many different manufacturers of cable splicing materials.

  • Prerequisite: Cable Splicing I
  • Length: 8 Weeks (16 nights)

OPEN ENROLLMENT

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)

Participants are introduced to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, as this training program provides entry-level construction workers information about their rights, employer responsibilities and how to file a complaint, as well as how to identify, abate, avoid and prevent job related hazards on a construction site. The training covers a variety of construction safety and health hazards which a worker may encounter at a construction site. Training emphasizes hazard identification, avoidance, control and prevention and other non-OSHA standards. Students are exposed to a variety of safety related topics including OSHA policies and the focus four (falls, electrocutions, caught between and struck-by). Additional topics include cranes, derricks, hoists, elevators, conveyors, excavations, material handling, storage, use and disposal, scaffolds, stairways and ladders and tools, both hand and power.

  • Prerequisite: None
  • Length: 3 nights

The course continues the study of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its impact on loss prevention at construction sites. Training covers a variety of construction safety and health hazards a worker may encounter at a construction site. Students are exposed to a variety of safety related topics including OSHA policies and the focus four (falls, electrocutions, caught between and struck-by).  Additional topics include cranes, derricks, hoists, elevators, conveyors, ergonomics, excavations, fire protection and prevention, materials handling, storage, use and disposal, motor vehicles, mechanized equipment, rollover protective structures and overhead protection, signs, signals and barricades, powered industrial vehicles, safety and health programs, scaffolds, tools – hand and power, welding and cutting.

  • Prerequisite: None

This extensive and popular program analyzes the major changes to the NEC. This is an invaluable resource for electricians, contractors and inspectors, focusing on the most important changes that occurred between the 2011 and 2014 NEC. This course will reflect the newest installation practices utilized by the electrical industry. It is now offered in three- 10 hour sections: A, B, and C.

  • Prerequisite: Journeyman Wireman
  • Length: 3 nights (10 hours)

Students are introduced to the process required to successfully join nonferrous metals and learn additional welding symbols and drawings. They are exposed to all aspects of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), which is more commonly known as MIG welding, and TIG welding process, including equipment set-up, gas selection, usage of both solid core and flux core welding wire, using both fillet and multiple-pass welds. Students will engage in lab projects joining metals in lap, tee, butt and V-groove fit up, using shielded and flux core MIG and TIG methods and materials.

  • Prerequisite: Welding I
  • Length: 8 Weeks (16 nights)
